Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently appeared on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast where she spoke about her journey from the Indian film industry to Hollywood. During the conversation, she reflected on the period when she decided to move away from Bollywood.
While discussing that phase, Priyanka shared a candid remark about personal struggles. She said that everyone faces battles in life and added that she does not like staying in unpleasant situations because people can eventually get used to them.
Her statement quickly sparked debate online. Some fans felt the comment indirectly criticised Bollywood, the industry that played a major role in shaping her career and global popularity.
At the same time, many supporters defended the actor. They argued that she was simply describing her personal experiences during a difficult phase and not necessarily criticising the industry itself.
However, another section of the audience believes the remark could have been expressed in a more balanced manner. According to them, Bollywood gave Priyanka Chopra significant recognition, success and financial rewards over the years.
Despite the mixed reactions, the conversation has once again drawn attention to her journey from Bollywood to international cinema. Priyanka Chopra continues to remain one of the few Indian actors who successfully built a career in both industries.
Priyanka Chopra needs to be exposed more mahn. The way she has fooled casuals through her PR when she’s exactly opposite of it.

Bollywood made #PriyankaChopra a star, gave her fame, & identity.. But apparently it was all “shit” for her.
Strange how she smelled it only after reaching Southwood. #Varanasi

#PriyankaChopra says she left Bollywood because she “doesn’t like staying in sh*t” and didn’t want to “get used to the smell.”
Meanwhile ‘She was born in the sh*t therefore she is still carrying the smell.’
