Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has become a global icon now. From having hit TV series to Big budget Hollywood movies, she has seen it all.
While talking to Cameron Bailey at Toronto International Film Festival, she shared that the role of Alex Parrish was not written for her.
The 'Bajirao Mastani' star also shared the difficulties women have to face in the film industry.
She noted, "I've had people take away films from me because I might not have agreed with them. Once I was asked not to be a part of a cast because I was too ethnic. I didn't realize how hard it was until I came to North America."
The actress also shared that she took the opportunity to work in Hollywood as she wanted to break the ceiling for actors that looked like her.
Actor Vivek Oberoi, who will be seen playing a police officer in the forthcoming film "Bank Chor", says he has a weakness for chocolates and he still steals them.
Actor Nawzuddin Siddiqui has praised southern star Prabhas for his performance in the magnum opus "Baahubali: The Conclusion", calling his act as fantastic.
Singer Neha Bhasin, whose career began with being chosen in all-girl Indian pop group Viva through a reality TV show, is not keen to be a judge on any such platform. She says promises made during the beginning of such shows are often not fulfilled.
