In an interview with BBC 100 Women’s Yogita Limaye, the Indian actress and producer speaks about body shaming, pay parity and the pressure social media can bring.
She says she was getting paid 10% of her male co-actor’s salary while starring in Bollywood movies, and it’s been only during her most recent acting engagements in Hollywood that she has seen the gender pay gap closing for her.

Yes ma’am you are so on point!!!
Beautifully said all through the interview proud of you Priyanka from me based in Mumbai India
She speaks really well. Priyanka is and will be a role model & inspiration for so many women/ girls.
Even mens are inspired from her….not only girlsw and women’s…m a Boy n she is my inspiration and a role model
Pranka you have broad shoulders that is why you breast is flate .
You’ve bought into the fake image she portrays, she’s a facist
@@EducationalGyaan604⁰p⁰⁰
What? 😂
Intellectually, Priyanka is ahead of her peers in hollywood, which is evident in interviews. She truly is a ” beauty with brains”
WOW! what a woman. We dont value her enough. Every girl should listen to her interviews and try to live their lives like her.
U mean like fake
@@anirudh6386 Please go away!
@@deepm6366 😂😂
I disagree , we in fact value her more than she deserves to be becoz of all the glamour of popular movie actress. Moreover ,subliminally she seems to have a inferiority complex to Westerners and sometime speaks in a fake accent to blend in there.
she gave very harsh statements in the past, like I don’t need a man, I only need him when I need his sperm to produce a baby.
She’s so right. We women are so afraid to create noise or stand up for ourselves cos we might get labelled ‘troublesome’.
Absolutely true words by her
But if a man does the same it is ‘heroism’ boldness.
She is more than an actor or a producer. She is a legend!
It is she who made a foray into Hollywood and because of her others are being welcomed like Deepika and Alia. Aishwarya couldn’t do it but Priyanka really opened the gates for everybody.
Her understanding level is so real
SHE & HER ARTICULATED WORDS🔥🔥🔥 BEST IN BOLLYWOOD FOR SURE..NO ONE CAN OVERSHADOW HER..PERIOD
So self aware, sorted, clarity of thought and unbiased articulation. What works wonderfuly for Priyanka is the fact that she has seen and grown up in environment which has had both small town rooted-ness and showbiz glitz. She sounds credible because she has lived that life. Her story tells you that ‘anybody can do it’.. what a wholesome journey.
She is the definition of beauty with brain
Women of power in most intelligent way. And she is the role model for every ordinary girl💕
She is inspiring women but her parents are more inspiring who were ahead of their time & supported their girl. The wisdom they had 40 years ago most indian parents in even 2023 don’t have. hats off 👏👏
She is a genius!so inspiring… In fact I was once body shamed by my ex boyfriend and then he came back asking me to go back to him after realising that he will never find someone as humble and loving as I am… He had dated many girls after breaking up with me thinking that having a girl with slim and good body will satisfy his manhood…..but I guess he was wrong and regrets body shaming his true love…he wants me back and I am hesitant to fall for him again.
She is always very inspirational!!
Confident and humble, smart, beautiful… list goes on and on ❤
Priyanka Chopra is truly an inspiration to the world.. her interview always gives empowerment to the listeners.

She’s the most well-spoken woman I’ve ever witnessed in Bollywood. Her communication style is extremely therapeutic. Not even for a moment, do I get bored of listening to her talk. So much to learn from her… A perfect role model to look up to if you’re into the glamorous stars who made it in their own.
Yup
Ever listened to Lara Dutta speaking?
Aishwarya Rai….
Dichotomy,pander
Absolutely True
I’m not Indian but I’m curious why many Indians on the internet only focus on her accent, make fun of her because of it rather than focus on the positive sides she brings.
Desgraciadamente eso es lo que conocemos como mal llamado humanos y falta de una buena educación y valores por los demás…
India is full of jealously and hatred. Think about it. The poor majority hate life and each other,
Because they are losers 😂 Priyanka doesn’t care. She is smart, beautiful, intelligent, and successful.
Because they can’t compete her 😂
It’s because India’s obsession with British and American accent.
