Speaking about her journey as an actress and various challenges that she faced while working in the Indian film industry, Chopra said- 

“Obviously, being raised in the industry and having such a tight lens on what my shape was, what my figure was or what my measurements were, minutely looking at every part of me, I kind of grew up for a while in my 20s, thinking that was normal like most young people, where you think about these unrealistic standards of beauty, which is like, absolutely Photo shopped face, perfect hair. I never used my natural texture for years. I used to always just have blown out hair.”

Priyanka further talked about her journey through body positivity and her engagement with the audience at large via social media.

“I think over time when my body started changing, and I went through that phase when I was eating my emotions, my body started changing, I reached my 30s, I went through struggle because I used to get online grief from people like, ‘you are looking different, you are aging,’ this and that.”

“It messed with my mind at that time. My mind was already in such a dark place, and I didn’t have time for it. My relationship with social media changed, my relationship with the internet changed. I incubated myself in a way where I protected myself; I went into my Cancerian self-preservation self and got back into my shell,” she told the

Victoria’s Secret Original Podcast series, “VS voices”.

In the end, she concludes the interview by saying, “I think it’s a phase. Every one of us will go through our ups and downs, but eventually, the sooner we start choosing ourselves, the better life becomes, when we get rid of the noise of what the expectation of someone else is.”
