Priyanka recalled the filmmaker’s comment
Priyanka Chopra Jonas, an Indian actress, spoke openly about a disturbing incident she faced in Bollywood, where a filmmaker made inappropriate remarks about wanting to see her underwear. In an interview with The Zoe Report, she shared her experience of shooting for a film in which she played an undercover role. During the filming, the filmmaker insisted on seeing her underwear as part of the seduction scene, which Priyanka found dehumanizing. She decided to walk out of the film, describing it as a moment that made her feel objectified and reduced to her appearance rather than her artistry and contributions.
Priyanka recalled that the filmmaker made the comment to the stylist in her presence, and it deeply affected her. After working on the movie for two days, she made the decision to leave. Her father, Ashok Chopra, supported her and asked her to reimburse the production for the expenses they had incurred.
The actress also mentioned that she couldn’t bear to look at the director every day after the incident.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas began her acting career with the Tamil film ‘Thamizhan’ in 2002 and made her Bollywood debut in 2003 with ‘Andaaz’. She has since appeared in numerous Hindi films such as ‘Aitraaz’, ‘Mujhse Shaadi Karogi’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Don’, ‘Barfi!’, ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Mary Kom’, ‘The White Tiger’, and many others.
