Priyanka Chopra, one of Bollywood’s biggest stars, tells Anupama Chopra about her tough year, her achievements, and how she handles the glare of unwelcome publicity. Edited excerpts from their conversation on “The Front Row.”
Anupama: Priyanka, are you on a high? Or do you walk a middle path – don’t get too high with success or too low with failure?
Priyanka: I have always been like that because I have had ups and downs which are so close to each other. I don’t believe in highs which are too high and lows which are permanent, either. I stay in the middle. I get happy with my highs, I don’t get too unhappy with my lows. I know it is going to change.
Anupama: Which of your many professional accomplishments are you most satisfied with? Pulling off a tough role like Barfi or embarking on a new career as a singer?
Priyanka: They are both very challenging. “Jhilmil” was also something that had never been done before and hugely challenging for a contemporary, commercial actor to do and so is the music. It is path breaking in its own way because no one has ever done it. I think they have both been successes for me, thank God!
Anupama: What was the hardest thing about becoming a professional singer? Do you have to consciously downsize your ego because you are a newcomer all over again?
Priyanka: I don’t really have one when I go to the studio. I know the people with me in the studio know a lot more about what I am doing. I think the most important thing of being successful is understanding and not being delusional about how much you know and who you are. I know I am a hugely successful star here but I am not a hugely successful star there. I have just one song and another song which is a feature. You cannot go in there thinking ki mai toh superstar hoon, ab mujhe waise treat karo (I am a superstar, so treat me accordingly). It cannot be like that.
Anupama: But isn’t that scary when you are already so famous?
Priyanka: The point is I have always lived my career like this. I could have always been complacent and not wanting to break barriers and not wanting to push the envelope. I could have done normal films, with five songs and 20 scenes and had big blockbusters. I could have done all of that but I have always done things where people have told me, “What are you doing? No, not good!” When I did “Aitraaz,” everyone told me ki tum vamp bankey reh jaogi (‘You will end up playing vamps forever.’) When I did “Fashion,” people said, “Three years into your career you are doing a heroine-oriented film? Nobody would want to see it. Heroines do it at the end of their careers, why are you doing it now?” But it was huge for me. Sometimes films don’t do well also, but the point is that the possibilities should be endless.
Anupama: You thrive on being scared?
Priyanka: I think so, on pressure. On, “Oh people think I can’t do it, let me show them!” I think I am successful when I am scared.
Anupama: So how did you keep your head above the water?
Priyanka: I finished four films and an entire album. I stopped reading papers, I stopped listening to people, I stopped going out. I got off Twitter because people write such crap. Why is there so much hate in the world, I don’t understand. Why are we so judgmental suddenly? And not just Twitter, the online world in general. I find that absurd because I am not like that. I don’t judge and I really believe that I live in a democracy. I have been raised to be an independent thinking person and I believe that everyone has the right to live however they want and if you have the courage and conviction to stand by it then why not? So why are we such haters? That really upset me for a little while which is why I got off Twitter but then I came to the conclusion: Why should I let anyone drive me away from what is rightfully mine and I came back.
