In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it’s often the dazzling and gleaming life of celebrities that comes to the forefront. However, what happens behind the surface when the curtain falls is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such similar tale is of an actress who endured silent battles, moments of despair, and personal struggles that rarely came into the public gaze. Today, she is one of the most celebrated and bankable actresses, who has made a name for herself not just in Bollywood but also in Hollywood.
Yes, the actress we are talking about is none other than our “desi girl,” Priyanka Chopra. Priyanka ventured into the world of showbiz with the South industry, where her talent and strong screen presence captivated the audience. Soon, she made her mark in Bollywood, becoming one of the industry’s most bankable actresses. But she didn’t stop there; she also made a mark in Hollywood, further cementing her name as a versatile and powerful performer.
When Priyanka Was Overlooked Initially.
But life was not always all rosy for Priyanka. Back in the day, she faced severe criticism in her career due to her skin tone, enduring constant taunts that took a toll on her self-confidence. Initially, many people neglected her in the film industry. She was overlooked in the initial phase of her career. At just 18, the pressure became so overwhelming that, as per her former manager Prakash Jaju, she contemplated suicide multiple times. As per his manager, Priyanka attempted suicide two to three times, and he had to intervene to stop her.

He allegedly also stated that Priyanka Chopra had a turbulent relationship with her then-boyfriend, Aseem Merchant. The couple used to have several fights, and after one such fight, Jaju allegedly claimed that Priyanka called him late at night, distressed, and as per reports, during one heated dispute, Priyanka allegedly drove to Mumbai’s Versova area intending to end her life.
Later, Priyanka’s father, Ashok Chopra, accused Prakash Jaju of invading her privacy and filed a case against him, which reportedly resulted in Jaju spending several nights in jail. Speaking about Jaju’s claim in an interview, Priyanka said, “How can anyone believe a man who has been jailed for harassing me?”
The truth of the matter remains unknown, but if reports and Priyanka’s manager is to be believed, Priyanka got through the darkest storm, and today she stands tall, not just as an actress, but as a source of inspiration for many worldwide.
