I love how even when she discusses the issues she faced, it does not come across as complaining. Just stating what it was.
Her reality isnt the reality of every indian over there atall..i hv seen indians doing rlly well there with top earning jobs like docs, lawyers, engineers,scientists, etc..her generalizing it 4 every indian was illiogical nd vry far 4m truth...she should hv said, i" it was hard being an india 4 ME".. cuz noone is a celebrity in india trying to make its mark in usa.
That’s how we tell Priyanka Chopra apart from Kareena Kapoor.
@@ixa.m9915then dude you have no freaking clue. As an indian living here in the US, we have to prove ourselves more n work harder than the white folks to get recognized. Priyanka is absolutely right
It was big for you, but not for her, you don’t know how much she got paid.

Now a days it is not easy to be an Indian even in India
Yeah, being western in India gives u more respect than being indian in india
Exactly
@@laksithatrue
Hahahaha well said.
Why is this so accurate?😭
It's not easy being a happy human in this scary world😢
Priuanka ji It’s never easy anywhere
Life is never going to be easy
That's exactly what she is trying to say
It’s not only for an Indian… anyone who is moving to a new country and starting over will face challenges
Except for people from the West moving to India! They are always treated as kinda and queens and given the throne 😅
life isn't fair, but doing the same the the westerners do , makes us no different if we do the same thing.@@madurabhat3293
@@madurabhat3293lol who is moving from West to India?
True, especially with the culture will get culture shock for sure lol
@@madurabhat3293 not really.
Good to hear from her the truth. She is high profile person,and still down to earth with great self respect and self made.
See! Who does not have struggle in their life? Everyone falls into similar situations, just like her. We always believe whatever celebrities say on the screen, but that's not always the case.
She should explain why we have an exodus of women leaving India and she is a millionaire and she is the only one who is complaining.
@@kamaljeetyadav1974 no it's not. not to me it's hurts me badly why people say things that is not true i do have struggles in my life she doesn't understand who i am who i was and where i i was from and doesn't care about anything about me she doesn't know me me that's problem i am having she's fraud everything she does or say things on screen doesn't and she doesn't belong here i'm not a fraud or imposter she is a murder i'm sorry i am rude and mean but that's realistic and respectful.
She is a mistress lmao
Cos of you people only these people are like this 😂
That's the American story: work your butt off until you make it.
My American friend has been trying for Hollywood role for past 30 years and still waiting. That's movie industry. It is not a challenge specific to being Indian. Priyanka is a beneficiary of the opportunities in USA, not a victim.
Priyanka is very lucky to find good roles and success in the US, esp revolting as an adult. Aishwarya tried and did not succeed. Many Americans try all their lives and never achieve any level of success.
The big difference is Priyanka was a superstar in India already before she went to America.
No. She is a former Miss India who could have coasted to an amazing career in Bollywood. Instead she chose to move to the U.S. to push herself to achieve more. As much as the U.S. “offered her opportunities” she also had to make them happen. It takes brains, tenacity, hard work, and grit. This why immigrants on average do better than native born Americans, particularly the Indian community.
@max- She got an opportunity because of Gerrard butler,who was smitten by her beauty and had announced even his proposal to marry her. Every body' was curious about who that lady was. And then one of his friends Mr Andrew called her for a photo shoot which was on Forbes front cover. She looked gorgeous in black and white pic. It raised more attention, and that's how I believe she got an opportunity to be a part of TV serial about spy or... Once she got married to Nick, she became an established actress because she was living in the USA and network also. If you have a good referral in the USA or Canada,you will get a chance. Also, her charms contributed, too. I always find her very attractive.
@@lamwilshangdhi612but still hasn’t been featured in major films. She’s only been in a couple of series, besides that there are no other major Indian actors/actresses in Hollywood. Unlike women from other races. She’s pretty which is safe but unfortunately Hollywood will find her look to lack versatility when it comes to casting her for major movies or shows . Kind of like Leonardo DiCaprio or Ryan Gosling .
It's not easy to be an Indian anywhere
Including in India. Do you think kids studying for competitive exams have it easy.
Y not just say being a human is not easy ? I'm sure ppl in poor countries are in worse state than Indians
Is that true though? Have you seen how many Indians are country leaders and CEOs?
@@ThursdayDogthey still had to work harder than any other race
@@ThursdayDoglol 1 billion slaves and few sellout babus
There are thousands of actors in America from other countries.. You're not so DIFFERENT.. Every other person is hustling, working hard..
People are so thickle. I'm sure what you're saying is true but that is besides the point - she is talking about her own experiences
Yeah what are you complaining about bro? She’s talking about her personal experiences, so what if it is shared by thousands of others?
spoke like someone who never faced systemic racism
She is special coz she is indian so am I. Thank u. I don't care about 1000 one on top is all that matters.
It's not easy for an Indian but it's very easy for an Indian celebrity.
America has it's own celebrities. Indian celebrities are of no interest in USA. it's "the Priyanka" who nailed it
Did you not listen to what she said? It took 10 years before a first break.
Not only in America, Indians DO NOT HAVE IT EASY IN INDIA AS WELL, the amount of rejections we face - because of gender, caste, family background, not having enough money and list can go on...
I think it works the same for all foreigners. Many were professionals in their country and have to start from scratch.
Priyanka was very fortunate. How many of us can move to another country in our 30s and be recognized as celebrities & achieve success ?
Yes like the Mr. Bean british actor, still not a hollywood blockbuster smash hit to his credit.
@@jasprerphtbh, she is not that recognized.
I’m an Indian girl , I came here all alone with the grace of god , studied , graduated and now going to be a psychologist, going to another country and starting from the scratch is only Gods blessings and hardwork
Wow!! You graduated as a psychologist, How was your studies in America? If u don't mind can you pls share your experience..😊
Yea I studied in America, now I’m studying my masters in special education in Tennessee tech university and am blessed for this opportunity
All the best
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
I’m from a very orthodox family in Tamilnadu , without any family support , I had to leave india because though I had many relatives no one would talk to me , I got converted to Christianity, worked hard in Dubai , moved to Europe and from there got merit scholarship and moved to USA and now I’m a teacher at university and am doing my higher studies here at USA . I trust only in God , he is with me always . I might be alone butt lords presence is always with me
It is not easy to be anyone in america. Its not easy to be anyone anywhere. In fact, 10 years from scratch doesnt sound bad at all.
It’s not easy for Americans too Priyanka ji,it’s like India 🇮🇳
Probably easier than she would have had it in India. It isn't easy for anyone from a humble background without connections but with ambition anywhere.
She deserves the success
What work she can do in America ?
@@ikodapasara8143good question 😂
PC, preserved and came out with flying colours. She is a prime example of what hard work and success is about... 🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉😊
Persevered
Not preserved, she persevered lol
@@anastasiamahal1432what lol? It might be the typo error.
“Preserved “ can be correct too.
She PRESERVED herself for Nic Jonas .
Deserved?
Damn even Miss World 2000 had it hard 😢 She really paved her way from scratch ❤
I live in Germany now and i can tell you its not easy being an Indian in india. Priyanka is not even a proper singer but she was able to make it in america. Idk why these entitled celebrities complain so much.
It didn’t take her 10 years for her first leading role. Quantico came out in 2015 not 2020. Her music career started in 2012. She doesn’t even know her own timeline? Why lie about it? There’s a thing called an internet where everything is documented. No need to lie to seem like you was this struggling woman who took years to become established. Own your truth.
No offence to her but I don’t know why she always wanted to sound like someone who had gone through a lot. I mean she kept highlighting how the skin colour is a main agenda in India, when, personally I feel and even have experienced it, in India being wheatish or dark is not exactly a problem.
She actually started in 2009/2010 in Hollywood. She was invited to some parties and was seen in background in some Bravo reality shows at one of the parties and also in the background as a guest to party in a early kardashian episode. She was clearly networking and working her way up since 09/10.
@@RahatAsghar726She said being brown in America was hard, she didn't mention about India.
@@anastasiamahal1432 Then you haven’t gone through her previous interviews.
Even that was a avg left leaning, quanitci
“It’s not easy to be Indian in America”
*Indians are literally the #1 most successful demographic in the US*
That’s probably in careers derived from academics.
Still doesn't mean it's easy
That didn't come easy pal. It was achieved with sweat and blood. Preparing for it in India and then using those hard-earned skills in the USA.
No... it applies to other sector like hotel industry. @@bcent5758
It's just not easy being HUMAN give me s fcking break, everyone works!!!!!!
That struggle applies to every foreigner moving in a new country.
You should be very thankful and grateful that it took ONLY 10 years for you.
Shes not complaining, shes explaining 😊
@@palpreetkaur5355she should explain bollywood for foreigner first
She became miss world in the year 2000 I guess we need to count that as well
She is one person among millions of people who struggle to get success when they migrate to another country.
Her struggle isn't new. It's what every migrant faces. Most people only have a fraction of the resources she had when she moved to USA.
So true... That's why she's my inspiration... 😌❤🥰
Will she continue to be your inspiration even if she had made the same point without showing her brea sts? Ah?
@@SureshKumar-gu9cu guess u'r the one who is sexualising her in here, not the original commentator ,they were referring to what she said and listened to her, while all u saw and cared about was her skin
I live in NY I have not seen persecution of Indians on the contrary I see more and more. and it has many Indian doctors and it was here that they studied or started
@@madelinerodriguez2526Indian actors are great at making their work seem difficult
Americans sometimes get No opportunities to get recognized. Its not because you are from India. Its the business. You should feel blessed. Lots of people born here work their azz off every day and make $12 an hour. Made in America should be a statement of gratitude!
Right? Like why tf is she automatically assuming it took her 10 years to get a lead role because she’s Indian? Acting is a profession that takes MOST people YEARS before they get a lead. Austin Butler didn’t get Elvis until he was 10 years acting and he’s a white blonde hair blue eyed man from American.
As an Indian myself I believe this one hundred percent.
I am Indian and I agree 100%
She is right moving to a new country is always hard and difficult at the beginning it takes a lot of work to settle in
she is honest and hardworking
I live in NY I have not seen persecution of Indians on the contrary I see more and more. and it has many Indian doctors and it was here that they studied or started
Well...Quantico was released in 2015!
It had multiple actors it was a TV show not a Hollywood Movie
To put it in real context she didn't exactly start from scratch. She is former miss world (an international title) and the had proven track record of success (even though in a different country). She also had the financial means to support herself while she established her career in the United States. I don't dispute she is hard working and talented but probably not comparable to just an average immigrant who may go through hell before being successful in another country.
Starting from scratch meaning she had no profile of work in Hollywood, literally nobody knew her there, she was no more a big star but a struggling actress, she didn't have huge connections, she had to audition after being one of the top A list actresses in India. That was not easy. Don't belittle her journey.
@@harshitabhuyan8892 If giving more context to her journey makes you think I am belittling it then that's your interpretation and not my intention.
@@harshitabhuyan8892 she is still a struggling actress in hollywood...nowhere near to being a top actress there! Nt even an A_ lister.
I'm not a fan of her. But even being a Miss World and Indian actress it is crazy that she had to work 10 years to get a break. Must be very tough out there.
It takes that long for 90% of people to make it. No matter where they are from. She should consider herself lucky because most people trying to make in Hollywood don't.
This lady always motivates me. Now I realize why I love her when I was a kid . Vibes
Really " It's not to easy "..💫
Quantico was 2015, so 5 years. Having said that, I loved Quantico 🙂
It was a TV show not a Hollywood Movie
She was really terrific in Quantico n that was one of the exciting series at that time. Was really surprised that as an Indian she got such a plump role.
Its always better to be in your own country, own people than being humiliated.
True. Fixing our country and making to that level is what we should aim for. I find it humiliating begging jobs in other countries.
Small town syndrome
So she needs to forget the job of acting and fix her country first?
@@rushabhshah.2768 of course she has more power more influence. In fact she could have easily done that. Tumhare jaise logon ke vajah se country ki halat aise hai. Many Indians lack patriotism.
@@durga_the_slayer_of_demons1276 the CEO of google is Indian, he studied engineering in India too, he went to USA focused on his passion and today he is the CEO of a big company. Imagine if he didn't focus on his passion and said let me fix this country or join govt even if my skills are more about engineering and not about politics I would join politics to fix this country where would he be today? No country forces their country men to change the nation there are people who want to join politics who have a vision for the nation, people of the nation can vote for them, why should instead of voting they should do their jobs? You hire a security guard to guard your home if your house gets robbed do you have to question security guard or should you become the security guard from the next day? Imagine so many indian CEOs in foreign nations instead of going to a foreign land were forced to join politics where would they be today? They would either be a corrupted politician to survive or not be a l i ve. Priyanka Chopra has got acting skills she should use her skills in that particular field, wasting her skills would be a huge loss for her and others too. Don't force ur patriotism on everyone else.
I love this actress she’s very open minded and just deals with life as it comes. God bless her! 🙏
Indians are literally the highest earning ethnic group in the US, when you look at median income. As an Indian-American, I think we have it PRETTY GOOD compared to other groups. Have you ever seen a homeless Indian American? NO!!!
She's so realistic & down to earth
Very well said. And it’s very true. It’s not that easy to start everything from scratch , it’s hard work. But most Indian people don’t see that unless they have to do on their own. It takes time and effort to have it all back again.
True. Going to another country and starting from scratch is not an easy task to do
Its not easy to start from scratch anything. Whether moving to another country, changing careers in own country, building companies from scratch or even starting a new relationship all over again from scratch. As an Indian who has lived both in India and America, I can only say India is ❤️.
This is inspiring.
It's not easy to be an Indian in any country other than India.
Perseverance and focus are key words for achievement/success. Well done Priyanka Chopra
On grateful, should be thankful for where you have reached. In India there are so many actor you were not that famous be thankful for America you are now known all over the world
She lived in the United States with family for at least 4 years before she became an actor. She was quite familiar with the United States before she came back to the US to work. She went to American secondary schools & knew the culture & the language. Plus, she was Miss Universe. That opened up massive doors. Simply the fact that she is beautiful gave her advantage most do not have. Did she really expect to acquire leading roles with her first jobs? Many American actors NEVER get leading roles. I would imagine that 10 years is the average for those who succeed. Being Indian has NOTHING to do with it. Seldom do you hear millionaires talk about how fortunate they are - it's all about the struggles, the "hard work." Most actors don't really know what hard work is. Count your blessing, not your struggles. Is it any wonder she is friends w/ Meghan Markle?
100%
Take Care, its a ruthless profession in the end, but you have given so much joy to people with your ❤ movies. Love some of your Indian movies in the days 😊
That’s why she deserves all the support from her own home country. 👏🏻Not all the hateful comments.
She Is right..her hard work being an outsider she proved..hardwork really matter
Hang on. Her leading TV role was Quantico, which aired in 2015. So she was most likely filming in 2014. So it took her 4 years to get her leading role not 10. Her Bollywood career certainly helped.
Yep & She started working in the US in 2012 when she was at the peak of her career in Bollywood.
IIRC she was still in India till 2011-12, I guess she moved there after the BARFI movie she did with Ranbir Kapoor.
She first did some musicals then got a lead in Quantico after 2 years. That's it just 2 years not 10 as she blatantly claims.
So, even though it may not have been as easy for her as one may think, it certainly wasn't as tough for her as she claims either.
everybody likes to be a victim in this day and age@@TheEgoBuster
She gets the role in the movie like junior artist in india. Who gets 1000rupee for a shot😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. She is still nothing there.She got a lead role in serial not movies. 😂😂
@@irfanamin758 Well, at least she gets lead role in TV series over there. Unlike people who've nothing better to do, but belittle her for no absolute reason.
She's talking about her movie 'love again' where she plays the lead not the TV series. Although the movie was released in 2023, the filming started in 2020.
Quatico happened in 2015 and its last episode was in around 2018...this is how celebrities openly manipulate...in 2020 she was even married i guess
I am so glad you said it because I have been wondering the same thing.
She got role in citadel in 2020 as lead actress with equal pay as the male lead . She wanted to say this
@@swati2899 She had a lead role in Quantico as well. I don't think any of us can claim to know what she wanted to say.
@@meaowmeaow529 she has lead in Quantico but citadel is believed to be one of the biggest and expensive projects of Hollywood maybe she wanted to say she was treated like other Hollywood actors not like an outsider first time in 2020 through citadel
@@swati2899Swati Swati Swati Swati. Understand this: you do not know what she "wanted to say" because you are not her. She was talking about bagging a lead role. She bagged her lead role in 2015. Case closed.
How big or small the movie was, how much she was paid was never discussed. If you want to talk about all that, what about all those female actors who have bagged lead roles being white blondes in the US but continue to get paid less than their male counterparts despite having Emmys and Oscars?
Sacch ko sacch bulana seekhiye. Warna izzat Dene koi tayar nai khada hoga aapke peeche.
Great respect! for her accompliments....fully deserved!!!
It's even harder for Indians within India too.
Unfortunately it is a bitter truth for every indian( assuming other nationalities too).
To achieve a substantial position or earn in millions ( not Billions) is extremely difficult.
So many pickup even after reaching at the top, you can be brought down within days to hours.
It is always difficult but a way more hard & challenging when not in your own country.
Google says Quantico came out in 2015… 🤔
Really ..😏🤭
It was a TV show with big cast multiple actors it was not a Hollywood Movie
@@rushabhshah.2768she didn’t say she got her “ first big Hollywood movie “ she said “first leading role” which was in fact Quantico. so she lied.
Mr@bleu8645 even if she lied so what
She is right. Very true. I agree.
This is true for every work sector in USA for an Indian ....
She is spot on -- many of us have experienced this in the US for a long time before ; Love Priyanka!!! ❤️,,❤
It’s not easy- unless…you’re connected to a very very influential KInG 😆 Richest actor iykyk
be grateful. we all go through it, girl. every culture go through it..bless you.
She is 1000 percent right. Bcz people don't think about....I am indian in America too I experienced same thing like Priyanka. She's so much right. God bless you 💕 Priyanka and this 💞💚 humble host
very true what you say
thank you.
That's why I really loved her, she's pure in everything she said ❤
Best place for Indians will always be India.
It's time to work hard, make India great!
I love this woman then and now. She is amazing and day by day she is improving❤
India is i think they have better technology
If she feels that way, then it's definitely true, they really don't care ab anything /anyone in western countries, It's not fun I will tell u that much, and she is putting it lightly, it takes a minimum of 10 years of absolute brutal living abroad then maybe u make it, it's humbling, terrifying at times, probably the hardest thing u will ever do
True that
Completely untrue...usa values highly qualified nd skilled humans 4m anywhere..it values human brains..thats y braindrain 4m india is a real thing..smartest ppl 4m india would get good salaries nd would establish themselves in no time over there ..docs r so well paid over there, u jst need to save money for 2,3 yrs nd ull b approved 4 mortgage .indians r good in science nd i hv seen seen them holding prestigious job positions over there like in medicine, nasa, accountancy, research ,engineering etc etc. Bt if u r unskilled then yes, then u hv to struggle doing these menial jobs first nd build ur way up bt atleast ull get smewhere in the end bt in india ull always b struck in vicious cycle of poverty. Such ppl in usa start 4m the bottom, works several jobs, save enough job to get themselves sme good education nd move up the social ladder.
We know she worked hard but there are Indian actors there who don't even have her superstar bollywood status.. they must have it even harder
Yeh, COMPLAINING, COMPLAINING OR praising herself, she has to dig it into our head.you decided no one held a gun to head.you messed up India 🇮🇳 so you left India 😅
Nowhere is she complaining. She is merely stating a fact that like everybody else, she too had to go through the grind in a foreign land for over 10 years, before she had her present level of success. As to your "messed up India" quote, professionally she was among the top most heroines, making complete chutti of the lead pair Deepika and Ranveer in Bajirao Mastani in her secondary role as Kashi. Personally? None of our business. Her life, her choice.
Absolutely
Yes she is so right ..
She is a commendable woman. Whatever she has achieved is sheer hardwork and humility. She is a force to be reckoned with.
Pardon me If im wrong you are writer aren't you?
I appreciate her honesty.
She is honest to you? I live in NY I have not seen persecution of Indians on the contrary I see more and more. and it has many Indian doctors and it was here that they studied or started
This female is toooo awesommme yaa..she has made us Indians proud ..her confidence, her wit, her grit, her determination, her perseverance...what not...justttt toooooo awesommmmme she is 👌👍👌👍👌👍👌👍👌🌟✨✨
she speaks for every NRI who has moved from india to another country! It's hard and your relatives in india will never be able to imagin how hard it is.
Her confidence and persistence ❤
Simple as “It’s definitely not easy being an Indian in India”
Let's just be happy for her. She is not hurting or terrorising anyone, she just is following her dreams with hard and consistent work. She is only responding to the questions. Very well spoken ❤
Really not easy .. hats off to her
In india also after 40 years, many don't get , u got. So be happy.
Its hard to be an Indian in America...Yes! But same goes with... Its hard to be an actor in bollywood for regional industries actors. It exists in India as well! Hardly the regional artists get roles, so, break in bollywood is very far for them.
Anyways, Kudos to this wonderful lady 👏🏻.
A lot of indian actresses like to call themselves 'real' (whatever that's supposed to mean) and down to earth. And they actually believe their own words. But this lady really is humble (and 'real').
Hats off to her courage and determination. 10 yrs it took her to become the lead and she continued her hard work throughout
It depends on what careear you are in . I have been in the US for 40 or so years , I have never had a problem , right from day one .
Humble fighters are the best!
Great. Always a pleasure to listen to 👏🏽👌🏽
Justice for Sushant Singh Rajput and boycott bloodywood 4ever
She has been eye candy for parties .. mostly roles fell into her lap without an ounce of struggle
I am Proud of Priyanka 😄 and I also proud to become such a struggle women we have in India.😍
Arjit Singh in hollywood as actor
If it was really so hard then I dont think millions from India would not have travelled to America, work there and settle their just because they are living in $ dreams. I have my friends and I have travelled myself, if you follow law and get use to local food then its very easy to live in America
So true. As an Indian in Australia starting from scratch❤
I think that's for everyone, you had to work for 10 years to be where you are and that is not bad!
Consider the Indian actress Frieda Pinto of Slum Dog: beautiful, highly competent actress with not one role offered to her since and that's been over 10 years! Hollywood is scum! But it's over now: Hollywood is dead and actors will be replaced by AI. Her situation is the same for everybody.
so true .. this is a tough place for indians
I love her ,the way she explain all her experience in here.
Very honest and powerful message it takes humility and courage to start a fresh.
It’s never easy for any foreigners in any country including India.
Soo much of hard work for your success. God bless.
Not only in acting but all professions it takes a lot to reach to a leadership position. Very true Priyanka! You are damn right.
It is hard work for everyone, some are in right place at right and some struggle for a very long time, either be your own country or a foreign country.. you just have to keep on Keeping on.. Just as Priyanka said “it is not easy”… Love your work! you are an inspiration to all the ladies out there ❤❤❤
She was awesome in Quantico, I loved that series . Wish Quantico 2 will come sometime.
