Priyanka Chopra Reveals Bollywood Has More ‘Jugaad’ Than Hollywood: We’re Little Romantic

Priyanka Chopra winning the title of Miss World at the age of 18 to becoming a star at the global level, Priyanka has had quite a journey. On the personal front, the actress is married to Nick Jonas and shares a daughter with him named Malti Marie. The actress who has extensively worked both in Bollywood and Hollywood has spoke about the difference between working in two industries.

Priyanka Chopra: There’s no room for play

In an interview with Forbes India, Priyanka Chopra during her recent Mumbai she said, “The one big difference that I have noticed between Hollywood and Bollywood is Hollywood has so much paperwork. There’s so much paperwork, 100 emails that will come to you before the next day. And timings are very specific. So your call time can be 7:32 pm or am. It depends on what time you were wrapped the night before. There’s no room to play unless you’re working with a filmmaker that does that. But within production, it’s really tight and its very organised.”

About working in India, Priyanka Chopra further added, “We have a lot more jugaad, we get stuff done. We’re a little romantic about… ‘Arre nikal jayega, ho jayega, kar lenge’ (We will get it done) so it’s very different way of working but that’s also true to the countries in themselves. I think our creativity can be super organic sometimes and we’re like ‘let’s change this.’ So that’s the big difference that I’ve seen. Otherwise I think filmmaking around the world speaks the same language. You have the script, you have ADs, you have producers, like otherwise it’s the same, but it’s just the cultural differences.”
