I think she could have been more successful there if she wanted it. I don't think she has the drive for it the way Priyanka does?

maybe it is a comfort thing?

The life of a TV actor and a movie actor is different. Well, most movie actors drive themselves in LA however big they are to auditions. And LA traffic is one of the most difficult to drive in IME and I have been driving since I was a teen. IDK how much money Deepika has, but could she consistently afford a driver? At Deepika's level which is HW entry, she still must audition to get a movie mostly. Actors just don't own these fabulous cars and sit in the back like desi actors do and have a driver drive them places.
PC was TV, so she probably had a driver pick her up and drop her as the star of the show and had a long term contract so her life was fairly predictable and stable. I have also seen pictures of her using a driver in NY. But NY traffic is even more brutal if you ask me.

I think PC picked better in terms of stability and dare I say longevity and exposure. DP must hustle more to land a picture which given the cushy life she has now and the 8 years she spent hustling in BW before success I would not be surprised if she was not willing to start all the way at the bottom.

Drive as in urge to succeed. Not drive as in drive to work.

More successful in Hollywood than Priyanka with that accent? In what roles? I genuinely want to know. Name some role you could see her in and think she would've been well received. She would need extensive amount of classes to mask that accent. Also you need to have a killer personality to make it in Hollywood, especially to stand out. Deepika is barely known in Bollywood for her charm and this is her kingdom.

You must have the drive to first drive yourself to auditions unless you are rich enough to afford a driver. Will someone pampered enough to have a driver have that drive ? So both drives are important here. šŸ˜›

DP in an interview said that she didnot want to shift base to US to pursue a career in hollywood. She wanted to live in India and travel out of India for hollywood projects. But PC shifted to US to pursue her hollywood career. So it is clear their approach and priority to hollywood is very different. For one it is her main focus while for the other it is secondary to her bollywood career.

I just felt she has low confidence in terms of her presentation, conducting herself well etc. She got some opportunities but could not shine as she doesn't know how things work in Hollywood.
Priyanka on the other hand, looks higher confident and talented than Deepika.

DP does not even have 1% of drive..ambition..persistence..courage..confidence..guts which PC has
we all can sit and mock her but it is no joke to make a name for yourself internationally and to literally shift base..start fresh..give auditions etc etc..is something i can never see DP doing..she got it all easy from her debut and i doubt she will go out much if it involves too much struggle..PC is more of a fighter

and DP would need to have a more universal accent for acceptance in West..which also PC has..not ti forget she is charming AF and has amazing networking skills..all which DP lacks

Nowadays she doesn't seem to have drive for anything, other than RK
