Priyanka Chopra, who is currently in New York
shooting for the second season of the American television show Quantico, has gained massive popularity in the West. In an interview to news agency IANS, the 34-year-old actress said she isn't 'insecure' over other actors' success. The
Dil Dhadakne Do actress said: "That is such an age-old stereotype and definitely not in my DNA. I'm very secure in who I am and the work I do. These are my friends and colleagues, and I like to share in their achievements and happiness. Good work should be applauded. I believe that there is enough work out there for everyone. We don't live in the dark ages anymore."
Priyanka Chopra portrays the role of FBI recruit-turned-CIA agent Alex Parrish in
Quantico. She won her second consecutive People's Choice Award for the show this year. The
Mary Kom actress not only attended the Oscars for the second time this year, she also presented the Golden Globe Awards. Priyanka Chopra is currently awaiting the release of her Hollywood debut
Baywatch, co-starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Zac Efron.
Speaking about her journey, Priyanka told IANS: "Yes, 2017 has begun well, to win a second People's Choice Award, this time as a Favourite Dramatic TV Actress, is an awesome feeling. Winning an award from the people, the audience, is a vindication that both
Quantico and my character connected globally. Also, when I see the amazingly talented women I was nominated with; it feels like I must be doing something right. As for the rest of the year, I'm looking forward to it."
She added: "
Baywatch releases on May 26 and we will be promoting the film across the globe. As a producer with my production house Purple Pebble Pictures, I have a lot of exciting projects lined up across genres and languages. Many announcements are on the anvil on that front."
Priyanka Chopra, who endorses several brands, told IANS: "I have to believe in a brand to endorse it. I look at products that I endorse as a consumer. Is it something I would use, do I like what it offers? If my name and brand are being used to advertise a product, then it's something I believe in."
