None Helped Me In Building My Career: Priyanka Chopra
No starry links and no high connections, yet Priyanka Chopra has got global recognition due to her talent. Actress Priyanka Chopra says she is grateful to fans for putting her "in a position" where she is "used to being the face on a poster". But she wants to do more.
Priyanka says whatever she has achieved is due to her own hard work, "without the help and support of anybody else".
"I started with nothing, no support. A complete newcomer to even Mumbai city, let alone the movie industry. I didn't even know anyone. So I kind of did all that I did on my own without the help and support of anybody," Priyanka said.
Speaking in Canada ahead of her the unveiling of the trailer of her venture Sarvann, she said: "I have always got a lot of love and affection whenever I've come to Toronto. I've come here for a lot of my Hindi films, I've come here for 'Quantico' before, specially coming here for a Punjabi film which has such a strong Punjabi community, just seems like the ideal place to launch it."
The actress made waves with international singles like "In my city" and "Exotic" before heading to the international TV space as Alex Parrish in "Quantico", which launched in 2015. The actress is currently seen in "Quantico" Season 2, which is aired in India on Star World and Star World. She will soon make her Hollywood debut with "Baywatch".
"Sarvann" , a Punjabi film, is Priyanka's second production venture under her banner Purple Pebble Pictures. Her first was "Ventilator" -- which released on November 4. "Sarvann" is co-produced by Vashu Bhagnani and stars Amrinder Gill.
