Priyanka Chopra recently made the headlines when she revealed that the real reason behind her shift from Bollywood to Hollywood. The actor revealed she moved to the west because of the dirty politics in the Hindi film industry. The actor is busy promoting her new show, Citadel and has been opening up about several things including her work-life balance after daughter Malti, her shift to New York and more.

Recently, Chopra said that moving to New York was difficult for her and she needed to mourn. Speaking to Hoda Kotb from the Today Show, Priyanka shared how she learnt to cope with the hard situations in life. She said, “I think in different phases of my life, I kind of taught myself or learned how to be my own hype girl. And it helped me navigate many crazy situations.”

She added, “I’ve thought about that phase in my life a lot. And my body needed to mourn, my heart needed to mourn, and yeah, you know, I needed pizzas to do it. I allowed myself to do that…pizza and a bottle of wine and a sh*tty movie. I reached a point where I knew that bottom had been hit. And now, the only way was up.”

Previously in a conversation with Dax Shepherd on his podcast Armchair Expert, Priyanka said, “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 added, “This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn’t want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require groveling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn’t feel like I wanted to do it.”
