Priyanka Chopra Jonas On Embracing The In-Between Moments

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s new memoir entitled Unfinished is the in-between-interviews book and in it, you’ll get the deepest look into the actor’s life. And in our conversation today, Priyanka opens up about just this – the in-between moments in life and why they’re often the most defining.  She talks about how being sent to boarding school when she was eight-years-old shaped her, and how the initial feeling of abandonment grew into independence. Nothing is off limits in this honest and at times, vulnerable chat, as she talks about her experience with depression (she experienced depression following the death of her father), bulling and racism and, how it’s “painfully ironic” that in a country populated by people who are all shades of brown, the standard of beauty is white. Priyanka’s parents taught her that confidence is something you can work to develop and something you have to work to maintain for life – and despite sixty-five movies and a two-decades-long career in India and the US, it’s something she continues to work on. We also talk about true love and what that means to her (Priyanka is married to Jonas Brother Nick Jonas).  And being an AllBright interview, we of course talk about the role of sisterhood in her life and the team of women she surrounds herself with.
