Priyanka Chopra Shares There Was A Time She Wanted To 'Quit' On Being 'Tired Of Rejection': I Felt Dismissed And Patronised On Set
Priyanka Chopra revealed in a recent interview that she once considered to quit because she was fed up with being rejected.
New Delhi: Priyanka Chopra is all set to rule the world. The actress has been on the cover of every notable magazine, has spoken to practically every major podcaster, and she continues to project the aura that she has had for years. She first promoted 'Citadel' throughout the world before advertising her film 'Love Again'. Priyanka revealed in a recent interview that she once considered to quit because she was fed up with being rejected.
The actor told Grazia, "There were so many times I wanted to quit. I was tired of rejection. I felt dismissed and patronised on set, like people didn’t believe I could do my job even when Bollywood is as huge as it is. I had taken such a big risk leaving my career in India and that really was a concern for me. I felt like I had bitten off more than I can chew."
Priyanka Chopra will be featured on the cover of 12 different international versions of the magazine, showcasing her status as a global superstar. As she discussed breaking into Hollywood, the actor added, "Perseverance was my only way out." She said, "Professionally, I know that I’m in an amazing place, after 23 years I’m getting the roles I always wanted. Personally, there is nowhere else I want to be but home.”

Priyanka, who embraced motherhood by welcoming her daughter Malti Marie with husband Nick Jonas in 2022, calls her daughter her "greatest gift." Talking about her, the Citadel actress said, "Everything I do, I do for her. She’s the greatest gift that has ever happened to us. She is our homing signal and our beacon of light. But neither Nick nor I could do what we do without the support of our families.”
Priyanka's 'Citadel' did not land up well with critics and even fans following which the actress is now gearing up for 'Heads Of State' co-starring Idris Elba and John Cena. She will also be seen in the Bollywood film 'Jee Le Zara' alongside Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.
