Priyanka Chopra remembers life's 'dark phase'

Priyanka Chopra weighed in on her life's low phase when a botched nose surgery drove her into “deep depression.”

Speaking on The Howard Stern Show, the 40-year-old said, “It was a dark phase.”

After winning the Miss World title in 2000, scores of Bollywood offers surrounded her.

However, the Baywatch star went under the knife on doctors' recommendations to minus a polyp in her nasal cavity.

However, the surgeon botched the operation, which cost her three movies, and she was fired from there.

The actor recalled thinking her shining career was “over before it started.”

“This thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression,” Chopra said.

Her father, who is a doctor, ultimately convinced her into a surgical correction.

After, she was able to “build back [her] confidence.”

The actor also praised filmmaker Anil Sharma for giving her the chance.

“He, while the tide was against me, said, ‘It will be a small part, but give it your all.’ And I did,” Chopra added.
