Chopra revealed at the time she was looking a way out of Bollywood, she received a call from Anjula Acharia of Desi Hits who offered a music opportunity in the USA.
“This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn't want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn't feel like I wanted to do it”, added the Quantico actress.
This music opportunity took her to Hollywood and made her renowned personality there.
