Even though Priyanka Chopra and her achievements are celebrated globally today, there was a time when her manager was called "stupid" for bringing her to America. Anjula Acharia recalled all the judgements that came her way when she took the step.
What's Happening
- On The Ok Sweetie Show, Anjula Acharia revealed, "People told me I was stupid when I brought Priyanka. Everyone was like, 'You can't break a brown Bollywood star in America.'"
- She continued, "I went to Jimmy (Jimmy Iovine, the co-founder of Interscope Records) because we had signed her together through a label deal... I was having one of my insecure moments. There weren't very many, and I was like, 'Jimmy, people are saying that I'm crazy,' and he goes, 'Do you know everyone thought I was crazy when I wanted to launch a white rapper whose name was Eminem?'"
- Priyanka debuted in Hollywood as a lead in ABC's Quantico in 2015. She then had a negative role in Baywatch alongside Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron.
- Some of her other projects include Matrix Resurrections, Citadel, Love Again, and Isn't It Romantic.
