Priyanka Chopra Explains WHY She Left Bollywood

Priyanka Chopra is opening up about why she made a major change in her career. Before the global superstar expanded her career into American film and television in the 2010s, she was a Bollywood sensation. In a new interview with Dax Shepard on his "Armchair Expert" podcast, Priyanka shed light on what made her decide to transition away from Bollywood and move to the U.S. "I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me for reasons. I had beef with people … I kind of was tired of the politics. I was just like, I need a break," she said.

The two biggest problems with Bollywood are:

1) Certain “high profile” directors/producers that are in a click who only cast nepo kids and if someone from outside start doing good, they destroy their careers. And one of those filmmakers have destroyed so many actors’ careers. We all know who that one person is. He used to make God awful 3 hours long overrated melodramatic movies.

2) Indian Actresses once they reach their 30s, they stopped getting movies. Priyanka was doing 4-5 movies per year but towards 2012, she was getting 1-2 movies per year. Even I felt that she wasn’t being offered and that’s all because of age discrimination. Not just PC, Preity Zinta was a victim of this as well and so many other actresses.

Anyway, I am so glad Priyanka made this move and her success is kind of like a tight slap to those Bollywood filmmakers/ actors that tried to bully her.

During the initial days of her career, she faced discrimination due to her skin color. Bcoz of her hard work and acting skills he started getting good work. However, after her affair with SRK she got completely sidelined by these biggies coz of gauri Khan (cant blame gauri either). she was not invited to parties, events and not offered movies. I remember it was in the news that time despite playing the lead actress in krissh series, PC was not invited for the success party, as suzzaine and gauri were besties. Bollywood is a dirty place...many girls go crazy, lose their identity...but i am happy that it ended well for PC coz of her grit...today she is a global celebrity, has a loving husband and a successful career...all coz she never gave up ...

Priyanka left Bollywood because she was BlackListed due to her affairs with married men

[rahulsahrony]

Ye Bollywood ki groupism and gangism will shut down one day

[willywoo]

She was being cornered because she had an affair with Akshay Kumar and Shahrukh Khan, and Karan tried to work with gauri khan and kick Priyanka out of Bollywood. It's all politics.

I don't think what Priyanka did was right but she is not the only one to be blamed, the men were at fault too. And she certainly shouldn't have suffered the consequences of her affair on her career while of course Shahrukh and akshay are still doing so well.

I am glad she has done so well for herself.

She speaks as if there is no politics in Hollywood. Hollywood is not exactly on a morally high ground.
