That was not and would never be my intention. She has received numerous accolades, including two National Film Award and five Filmfare Awards.Learn about the life and career of Indian actress Priyanka Chopra, known for her work in nearly 50 films and for her break-through role on the American TV drama 'Quantico,' at Biography.com.I'm extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. The winner of the Miss World 2000 pageant, Chopra is one of India's highest-paid and most popular entertainers. Priyanka Chopra Jonas ( pronounced prjka topa, born 18 July 1982) is an Indian actress, singer, and film producer.
According to The Daily Mail, the two will meet on a flight where MacLaughlin's character will charm Priyanka. He will eventually be discovered as pretending to someone he is not.Other confirmed cast members include Aunjanue Ellis of "The Mentalist," Dougray Scott of "Taken 3," Tate Ellington, Graham Rogers, Johanna Braddy and Yasmine Al Massri.The series will be centered on the story of a group of young FBI recruits as they are going through rigid training in the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Each of the recruits have their own dark backstories and reasons for joining the FBI and this will be explored in the series. One of the recruits will turn out to be a "sleeper terrorist" who took part in the 9/11 terrorist attack in the U.S. The show will toggle between present-day and flashbacks, according to Variety.The series is penned and executive produced by "Gossip Girl's" Josh Safran.
Mirren pushed back perfectly, one insulting dig at a time.“How epic was she?” Chopra asks, an obviously rhetorical question that I respond to anyway. (He actually quoted a theater critic who said she has a gift for telegraphing “sluttish eroticism,” but don’t let his posh English accent trip you up). In it, a TV host basically calls Mirren a slut.
(Chopra likes an afternoon meatball.) That thought is this: Chopra might be the most stunning person I’ve ever seen in the flesh. A decidedly un-Steinem-like thought keeps popping into my head while we are talking empowerment and equality and the overall boss-ness of Helen Mirren, and also eating meatballs. Gloria Steinem would be proud.Except. We are a two-person consciousness-raising group, Chopra and I. That’s all we want — equality in treatment.” I am on board with this broad-stroke definition of feminism, as well as most of the other pro-woman party lines with which Chopra shores it up. Don’t judge me for being me, just like you don’t judge the boys.
Even in crappy lighting, she is basically a goddess herself.Right now, I am watching Chopra jam her elbow into a grown man’s groin. In between bites, I scan her face to evaluate its symmetry. A shameful corner of my brain is trying to work out a scenario in which she might let me examine her pores at close range, perhaps with a magnifying mirror.
Mostly, she assumes she’ll get a little beat up on set. She doesn’t train or keep a regimented gym schedule. “I’m not, by nature, physical,” Chopra says. But that does not mean it is not impressively athletic. Then she taps out, and the training exercise is over.This is TV. She is struggling against the crook of his arm, trying to escape, when her face nearly slams against the wall.
She says that she didn’t know that she needed to have actual life aspirations until she was a teenager, after spending a couple years in America. “It’s like, if you’re a fireman, you’re going to get burned.”The jump from Miss World to silver-screen superstar was never something she planned for, Chopra insists. “It’s a hazard of the job,” Chopra tells me, blithely. That was almost two decades ago, and my guess would be that the assault on her private life has only grown commensurately with her fame.
He passed away of cancer in 2013. I decided to go in another direction.”Chopra has one tattoo, on her right wrist, that reads “Daddy’s Lil Girl.” It is written in her father’s handwriting. She returned to India for her senior year.)“I wanted to be an engineer, because both my parents are doctors and I don’t like the smell of formaldehyde and I faint at the sight of blood,” she says. She says going to school in the Boston suburb of Newton was like living through her own personal version of Mean Girls, in which she played the victim.
After she won, film producers came knocking. Chopra went through with it, she says, mostly to get out of exams. This is fixable.’ But I couldn’t do that with my dad.”Celebrity legend has it that Chopra was in the process of applying for college scholarships when her mom secretly submitted her headshots to the Miss India competition. When the big shit hits the fan: I’m the one who’ll stand up and say, ‘Alright, this is the solution. “I’m really good at fixing things and dealing with things. “I’m a really tough girl,” Chopra says.
I remember the first time I saw her: in the red carpet photos from the 2016 SAG Awards, in a long tulle dress with hot-pink lace overlays. It was basically a Bollywood fairy tale.But while she is a megastar in the rest of the world, until relatively recently, Chopra has had a low profile in the U.S. She started making music, too, with artists like Will.i.am and Pitbull.
But after she read the Quantico script, she reconsidered. “I said no, because it’s a really long commitment.” She was in the middle of a bunch of movies in India, and couldn’t imagine taking on anything more. Why can’t girls do it, too?”When she scored her first offer to star in her own series, Chopra declined. The boys come together — like bromance. But as Chopra puts it: “Women pull each other down all the time.
But I think it should be about humanity. When I ask her about what it might mean if she became the first woman to play James Bond — in an interview earlier this year, Chopra said she’d be keen to take on the role — she set the record straight.“I know everything is about diversity right now. I really had to wrap my head around who Alex was, to convince not just the writers, but the American people that I’m an American girl.” She wound up nabbing the part and making headlines for being a South Asian woman headlining a network thriller.But while she’s more than happy to be associated with breaking barriers, she’s sensitive to the language surrounding such achievements. “I’m from another country. “I’m not even Indian-American,” Chopra says.
When she was approached to co-star in Baywatch, slated for release next spring, she had her own ideas about the part she wanted to play. It would be a big win for women, period.”Quantico isn’t the first time Chopra’s taken a role expressly written with another kind of actor in mind. I think we need to start looking beyond that. I’m a woman, whether I’m white, Black, brown, green, blue, or pink — whatever. “I don’t like the phrase 'woman of color.' I feel like that puts women in a box.
“If I walk out on the streets and there are paparazzi taking my picture, I’m not hypocritical enough to turn around and say, ‘Don’t take my picture,’” she says. She knows the game and the rules of engagement. This was a woman using her woman skills to be a villain.” A complicated woman playing by all her own rules: I can get behind that.She is also exceedingly pragmatic about her growing celebrity. “This was so much fun, because it was not like a badass villain who’s getting into a fight.
In the last three minutes I have become very familiar with her elementary school photos. Anything about me is on Google.” (A cursory search confirms this. Any time I need to show a reference of myself, I google it. I don’t even save any pictures.
When I finish work and come back, then I’m me.”As for her personal life, Chopra is gracious but firmly private. When I step out of the house and I go to work, I’m someone else. Those lines are very clear for me. “I live my life for the world. You should google them.)In that way, Google is sort of like her own personal Facebook, and she’s just populating the newsfeed.
Quantico Actress Priyanka Free Fall At
But I’m also old enough to want roots as well. I want to free fall at the moment. To say that I don’t need roots. Thanks, Facebook.“I’m young enough to be okay. Right now, I guess I’m in a place where it’s complicated. “Not that I have not been in relationships.
She’s soft when she needs to be. Of the character she’s been playing for more than a year now, Chopra says: “She’s tough when she needs to be. In the season 1 finale, Alex Parrish is offered a gig with the CIA Expect conspiracy theories, more romantic entanglements, and, of course, Chopra busting lips and taking names.
She has a lot of work ahead of her. It’s the last time we wind up speaking. She tells me that she’s really sorry for all the back and forth, that she’ll give me a ring shortly when she frees up again, but that right now she has to run. Unapologetic.”We’re on the phone, and a few beats after this Chopra has to hang up.
