In classic stereotypical fashion, actresses are pitched against each other and a rumoured catfight is always a part of the headlines. However, Priyanka is one such actress who not only supports her female colleagues but also stands up for them.
Case in point, when Meghan Markle featured on the cover of a prestigious Hollywood magazine, the cover headline spoke about her relationship with Prince Harry. Priyanka went on to defend her friend and reminded everyone of how Meghan Markle is way more than just Prince Harry’s girlfriend and that her work should be at the forefront.
When she was asked by a leading magazine about the bond between female actors in Bollywood and Hollywood, Priyanka revealed, “I’m all about girl love. And I have had the most incredible experience working in India. We have celebrated each other’s success just as much in India. I make it a point to compliment my colleagues whenever I like their work, wherever I am.”
Stressing on feminism, the actress continued, “As a feminist, I believe women around the world should support each other. We must never be divided and ruled over.”
Meanwhile, Priyanka is currently in New York where she is shooting for Season 3 of Quantico. Besides the TV show, the actress will be starring in two Hollywood projects – A Kid Like Jake which stars Jim Parsons, Claire Danes and Octavia Spencer and Isn’t It Romantic? which stars Rebel Wilson, Adam Devine and Liam Hemsworth.
Recently, in an interview with a leading entertainment portal, when asked about what was the one thing she could do in Hollywood that she can’t do in Bollywood, Priyanka revealed, ” Nothing! At all, actually. The only thing that I think I get as an advantage in America vis-à-vis India is…for example, A Kid Like Jake. The movie that I’m doing…the lead cast is Claire Danes and Jim Parsons. But, it’s such an incredible story. It’s based on a play, it’s a first time director. It’s about a 4-year-old child who has a gender crisis and the parents don’t know how to deal with it. He wants to be Rapunzel instead of Spider-Man. How the school reacts and I’m the neighbour whose son doesn’t have gender issues and they are friends. You have people like Octavia Spencer. You have such incredible actors who have come together just to do 4 or 6 scenes. That’s the only thing that I miss in India.”
