in the Hindi film industry and also has 'beef with people'. When Shepard asked
him why, she replied, “I've never said this so I'm going to say it because
you'll make me feel safe.”
She then added, "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 spoke about hes first break in the United States, when
Desi Hits' Anjula Acharia, hired him for a song called 'In My City', her debut
single which also featured rapper will.i .am.
"This music gave me the opportunity to go to another
part of the world, it's not the hunger and the movies that I don't want to
have, but I will need to hit some clubs and cliques of people. It will require
crawling and I'm done It was such a long job at that time that I didn't like doing
it," added Priyanka.
After 'In My Country', Priyanka got a lead role in the
American TV series Quantico, where she played the role of an FBI agent. The
