Wow I have been reading this thread silently but so much negativity...urgh.
OT: Yes S-H, there was a time when PC was banned. SRK-Gauri's group had boycotted her to a great extent and she hardly had any established A Listers to work with. She worked with then newcomers Ranveer and Arjun in Gunday and the not-so-popular-in-North Ram Charan. Everyone gave her the cold shoulder. There was a time when she did not have any big films.
Because of this situation I think she was already planning her move to the West. At the same time, she never gave up on Bollywood. She gave a phenomenal performance in Mary Kom which proved that she is damn headstrong and no one can put her down. At the same time she was cast in Quantico as the lead and she managed to do what no other Bollywood actor had managed to do. Heading a show on an American network is not a joke.
Quantico's success must have made multiple people jealous but PC chose not to stop and I admire her drive. Nothing could stop her, she never settled for anything less. She went on pushing the boundaries. She never stayed in her comfort zone. And tho small roles, but she was a part of some huge Hollywood movies.
If it were anyone else who would've faced this, they would have probably left the industry and gotten married or something and settled down. But Priyanka did not do that. She chose to settle down when she wanted to settle. And her husband is one of the biggest names in the West.
It was Quantico and then her marriage to Nick when all of Bollywood wanted to be her BFF. All the opportunists flew back in. But PC kept her distance. I remember how happy I was to see her party with Ekta's group and not giving a damn about the elitists with no discrimination at all. Also the way she invited Hina Khan to her Cannes party. The girl was mocked by so called Bollywood aristocrats with name calling like Chandivali.
The point I wanna make is this woman's drive really motivates me. And if she did have those affairs, the men are equally to be blamed. And yes, they did try to sabotage her career but she killed 'em with her work.
