Priyanka Chopra says people didn't want to cast her because she was good at her work

Priyanka Chopra discussed the period when people attempted to harm her career in Bollywood. According to Priyanka, she wasn't chosen for roles in movies just because she was succeeding at her job, as reported by Hindustan Times.

Priyanka said there are very few people in India that get happy about someone else's success. She talked about her experience when people tried to jeopardise her career out of jealousy.

Priyanka said, "I have had people wanting to jeopardise my career, take away from my work, make sure I wasn’t cast just because I was doing well in what I was doing. In India, we are not people as a people, very few of us are happy for somebody else’s success.”

When asked how she overcome that phase, Priyanka said, "I don’t sit and wait and harp on, maybe I will cry one night when an opportunity was taken away from me, but you have to shut off the noise. Focus on the one person who believes in you. Focus on light."

Meanwhile, on the work front, Priyanka will be next seen in Bollywood in the film Jee Le Zaraa.
