Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has become a global icon now. From having hit TV series to Big budget Hollywood movies, she has seen it all.
While talking to Cameron Bailey at Toronto International Film Festival, she shared that the role of Alex Parrish was not written for her.
The 'Bajirao Mastani' star also shared the difficulties women have to face in the film industry.
She noted, "I've had people take away films from me because I might not have agreed with them. Once I was asked not to be a part of a cast because I was too ethnic. I didn't realize how hard it was until I came to North America."
The actress also shared that she took the opportunity to work in Hollywood as she wanted to break the ceiling for actors that looked like her.
Actor Arjun Rampal, who has portrayed Arun Gawli, a real-life Mumbai don, in the forthcoming film "Daddy", says he was starstruck after meeting Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt.
Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has praised actor Randeep Hooda's dedication towards his work and says the perseverance of looking and playing a certain character should be learnt from him.
With Kapil Sharma's show heading for a "break", his colleague Kiku Sharda has confirmed that he is moving on to SAB TV's new sitcom "Partner" with veteran comedian Johnny Lever.
Priyanka Chopra is a globetrotter. She is busy in shooting for her next Hollywood projects and now is heading to Toronto with mom Madhu Chopra, to attend the Toronto International Film Festival.
