In recent years though, ‘vanity pop’ has gone from being a novelty to a legitimate phenomenon, with Bollywood stars making serious inroads into the pop music space.The most obvious example was Priyanka Chopra, who was signed up by Universal Music Group in 2011 with the hope that her celebrity status and existing fandom could make her India’s first international pop star. It didn’t work out exactly as planned. Despite Universal’s significant backing, and Chopra’s attempts at playing to the American gallery with singles like ‘Exotic’, featuring the cringey lyrics “cool me down, I’m feeling so exotic/ Ya right now, I’m hotter than the tropics”, Chopra’s career as a pop star never really took off. Autotune and guest appearances from will.i.am and Pitbull can only take you so far, after all. But Chopra’s stalled music career hasn’t stopped others from trying to expand into the independent (ie non-film) music space

How is it a dig? It's the truth.

Her failed music career helped her eventually get a tv show so I doubt she cares.

That's the truth. But who cares? She seems happy with her life and that's all matters. And I think she can start her singing career with Jonases. It's in the family now.

Lmao. It's all facts though. Y'all want people to lie and say she became a musical icon or something?! And urgh, I almost forgot Exotic existed. Those lyrics are cringey and uncomfortable. Pardesi Babu one is the worst. The colonial intonations and just the firaangi pandering with the stereotype of calling anyone ethnic 'exotic'. Priyanka is lucky Exotic didn't come out now. Or she'd be dragged bad.

Breaking into Western music industry isn't easy and the music she put out was also crap. Anyways she ended up gaining connections through that so I doubt she really cares.

Her music career was always a publicity stunt for connection and acting career. She did a tv show as lead actress in west. That is a big achievement.

The article states a fact. PC's singing career is an embarrassment and even she wouldn't like to remember it.
