Priyanka Chopra's prefers to keep her personal life "private" but with her memoir releasing next year, the actress will reveal things she has "never spoken about." Yes, fans of Priyanka Chopra will now be able to read about some unspoken facts about her life. The book titled as
Unfinished will be a collection of personal essays, stories and observations of the actress, news agency PTI reported. "The flavour of the book will be honest, funny, spirited, bold, and rebellious, just like me," said Priyanka Chopra. Speaking about the book, the actress added: "I have always been a private person; I've never spoken about my feelings during my journey but I am ready to do so now."
The feeling of checking something off your "bucket list" gives you an indescribable sense of accomplishment...and that's where I am in this moment. I've always wanted to write a book, but the timing never felt right. With each opportunity that presented itself, my first instinct was always to wait...because I wasn't (and I'm still not) finished. I wanted to do more, live more, and achieve more, before putting pen to paper and exposing things I've always kept private to the world. But looking back on my life as a public person, I'm super proud of what I've done and where my life is right now. I've realized you don't have to be finished to tell your story, and that sometimes life's greatest lessons are taught along the ride...when you're still figuring things out...when you're #unfinished. So glad to be starting a new chapter (literally) with the amazing teams at Penguin Random House in the US, India, and around the world. If I can...anyone can @penguinusa @penguinindia .
