Even though the actress may have done her schooling in the U.S., just like many of us, she was also a vitcim of racism. Unfortunately, throughout her schooling years, she was bullied by white people for her colour, made fun of her dialect, and the way she looked.Not the first time that racism has prevailed for brown people, but our desi girl didn't let that affect her. Of course her confidence was shaken a bit and so was her self-belief. But what kept her going was her upbringing.
PeeCee was the closest to her father and the tattoo on her wrist is a clear proof of it. Her father taught to stand-up for herself and fight against the bullies. Which led her to work on her self-confidence. The actress has become bold overtime. She wasn't born with it.
"I taught myself confidence. When I'd walk into a room and feel scared to death, I'd tell myself, 'I'm not afraid of anybody.' And people believed me. You've got to teach yourself to take over the world," she said.
