Priyanka opened up and said, “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry (Bollywood). I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break.” She also added, “This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn`t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require groveling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn`t feel like I wanted to do it.”
To grab the music opportunity that came her way, Priyanka Chopra chose to go to America, and surprisingly she got the chance to work with Pitbull, Will.I.Am, Pharell Williams, and even met JayZ! Later on, the actress added that she quickly learned that she was much better at her ‘day job’ when her music career didn’t perform well. Before that, she also tried out for various acting roles and successfully bagged the role in Quantico.
