When Priyanka was yelled at on set for not getting her steps right
We all know Priyanka Chopra as a fabulous, Boss Woman with each foot in Bollywood, and Hollywood. We all love her for not only her skills as an actor, but her vivaciousness and the sheer confidence with which she takes up on any challenge thrown her way. However, a video that resurfaced online recently shows her in a completely new light. PeeCee can be heard opening up about her inexperience and being yelled at on sets.
In the video, Priyanka says she was once scolded while shooting for a romantic song with Akshay Kumar in South Africa. “That was one of the first songs I shot and there were multiple things I had to achieve at that point. Once the 40th-something take had happened and I didn’t get it right… I remember Raju Khan was the choreographer, he is Saroj (Khan) ji’s son. He threw his mic down and said, ‘Just because you’re Miss World, you think you can become an actress? Go learn how to dance and then come back and perform,’” she said.
However, Akshay's wife Twinkle Khanna went into labour during that point and brought Pri a chance to prepare herself better as the schedule was cut short and the team came back to India. “I remember going to Pandit Veeru Krishnan’s class and started learning kathak. I did about six hours every single day and then when I went back, for the next schedule, I knew so much more,” she said.
Since then, Priyanka has come a long way, winning a number of accolades, including the National Award, and multiple Filmfare Awards.
