During her India visit, Priyanka got indulged in a candid conversation with Ranveer Ahluwalia and appeared on his podcast. During the interview, the gorgeous actress was asked about the hardships in her career and life so far. To this, Priyanka revealed that there were people who wanted to jeopardise her career as she was doing well at that time. However, Priyanka elaborated on how she overcame it without revealing the names. She said:

“I have had people wanting to jeopardise my career, take away from my work, make sure I wasn’t cast just because I was doing well in what I was doing. But that’s not what stops me. I don’t sit and wait and harp on, maybe I will cry one night when an opportunity was taken away from me, but I don’t sit in the s**t. You have to shut off the noise. Focus on the one person who believes in you. Focus on light, a little bit of inspiration that you might see and that’s the hardest thing to do because you are bogged down by baggage and shackles of people holding you down.”

Further, in the same conversation, Ranveer asked the gorgeousness of the rumours which claimed Priyanka used to worship Satan to achieve prosperity in her career. To this, Priyanka was quick to refute all such rumours, and laughingly she revealed how it was a mere coincidence which came her way and people started loving her movies. She added:

"Horrible! Shiv ji will be very upset with me. I didn't understand the opportunity it gave me. Suddenly, people knew me and wanted to know me. Movies were coming my way, I didn’t know anything about how do you sign a movie."
