Priyanka Chopra compares Hollywood and Bollywood careers
Speaking with news agency PTI from LA, Priyanka analysed her career both in the West and in India. She said, “If you look at my Hindi filmography or Indian filmography, there’s a lot more variety than I have been able to achieve in my international work. I’m hoping to be able to create diversity and to be able to do really interesting work in my English language work as well, like I did in my Bollywood films. So there’s a lot more growth that I’m hoping for to achieve there. I’m still quite early in my growth in Hollywood.”
