In a recent interview, Priyanka Chopra made a startling revelation about her early days in Bollywood. The actress revealed that a director wanted to see her 'underwear.'
One of the most talented and hardworking actresses in Bollywood is none other than global icon, Priyanka Chopra. The actress knows how to reign in the hearts of her fans. Not only in Bollywood, but she has also won fame in Hollywood. Over the past few days, PeeCee has gone candid and spilt the beans from her personal life. Previously in an interview, the actress shared what made her head towards Hollywood. Now again, in an interview with The Zoe Report, Priyanka Chopra made a startling revelation about her early days in Bollywood.
In an interview with The Zoe Report, Priyanka Chopra shared that she had to go through a 'dehumanising moment' during her early days in Bollywood. She revealed that once, she was doing a movie where she was an undercover, for which she had to seduce a guy. The actress then shared that she had to take off one layer of her clothes at a time as a part of the shoot. Soon after, she recalled how the director said he wanted to see Priyanka's underwear. Elaborating on the same, Priyanka Chopra shared:
"This may have been 2002 or ’03… I’m undercover, I’m seducing the guy - obviously that’s what girls do when they’re undercover. But I’m seducing the guy and you have to take off one piece of clothing (at a time). I wanted to layer up. The filmmaker was like, No, I need to see her underwear. Otherwise why is anybody coming to watch this movie?"

In the same interview, PeeCee revealed that the director did not say that to her directly, but he told it to her stylist, who was standing in front of her. Undoubtedly it made PeeCee uncomfortable. She shared that such an incident was 'dehumanising' and made her feel off. Talking about the same, Priyanka Chopra shared:
"He didn’t say it to me. He said it to the stylist in front of me. It was such a dehumanizing moment. It was a feeling of, I’m nothing else outside of how I can be used, my art is not important, what I contribute is not important."
Further in the interview, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she decided to leave the project. She also shared that she paid them back the amount they had spent on her because PeeCee's father asked her to do the same. Priyanka Chopra also revealed that she couldn't even look at the director's face every day. Reflecting on the same, Priyanka Chopra shared that:
"I just couldn’t look at him every day."

Earlier in a podcast, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she was being pushed into the corner in Bollywood and tired of politics, so she moved forward to Hollywood. PeeCee shared she had beef with people in the industry. Further, she shared that as she is not good at playing games, she moved out and said that she needed a break. Priyanka Chopra said:
"I was being pushed into a corner in the industry (Bollywood). I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, and I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break. So, when this music thing came, I was like ‘f*** it, I am going to America."
PeeCee will be seen in the Bollywood movie, Jee Le Zaraa by Farhan Akhtar, alongside Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt. However, Priyanka Chopra is presently bagging immense love for her masterclass performance in the series, Citadel. She is now busy with the shoot of her upcoming film, Heads of State.
