PC's journey has been a roller-coaster ride. She struggled to fame and is now a big name in the international circuit
She added "Whenever you saw Indians on mainstream global entertainment platforms, you always saw them being put in a box either they would be nerds or a big fat Punjabi family. Why should our ethnicity define the role that we play? The only thing I told the TV network was not to come to me with a show that showcases my big fat Punjabi wedding', I won't do it. They came to me with 26 scripts and I chose to play an FBI agent who happened to be half-Indian."
Priyanka's first Hollywood film, Baywatch, didn't do well at the box office. On this, she said, "I don't know many actresses who have got a chance to play a character like that in a mainstream American movie. Reviews spoke very well of me. I don't think it was a bad decision, my dad is not sitting in Hollywood saying oh, let me make a film for you'. I have to choose from what I get as a new actor and I am building opportunities for myself. I thought going toe to toe with Dwayne Johnson, which most guys don't end up doing, was great. The only thing I missed was not getting to wear the iconic swimsuit."
