The former Miss World added, “Everyone was friends with everybody when I joined the movie business. I was not very good at networking and going to the parties”. Priyanka Chopra revealed that during those times she depended on how she was not afraid to take on risky roles. She said that when she took on roles, she wanted people to recognise her for those roles and not for her. She also added that she tried to make herself better at the craft of acting. Priyanka Chopra further spoke about how she then went on to learn dance and made sure she was good at it.
