Jimmy Kimmel
Chopra, made her second appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s chat show and spoke about how Bollywood is very actor-driven.
When Kimmel asked her about the dynamics of Bollywood, Priyanka said: “They do have union rules but it’s really actor-driven, and I am a workaholic... Everybody works like that. They (the production houses) follow my lead, it’s awesome. It’s great.”
Talking about the concept of song and dance in Bollywood, she said: “If you ever go to an Indian family, their wedding or any occasion, it will always be a dance party. We need an excuse to dance. This is different kind of dancing, there’s like craziness and drums and music. And I think, culturally that is reflected in the movies.”
Priyanka, who was seen sporting a black and white knee-length dress for the show, also talked about the injury she suffered on the sets of the American drama series. She said: “It was something so silly, I’ve done so many stunts before in my life. It was just a rainy day, we were running against time and needed to finish our day and rainy road, rubber boots. I fell and hit my head on the road.
“They took me to the E.R. They told me it was a concussion. I had to go home and my housekeeper had to wake me up every hour because you can’t sleep after a concussion. You see stars and it’s not fun. I got dizzy and it’s my first concussion so I was very starstruck about it. I didn’t call until the doctor cleared me and by then it was everywhere.”
