Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ recently launched memoir ‘Unfinished’ has been creating headlines since day one.
The memoir brings out her journey, ups & downs, and incidents from her struggling days.
Recently, the actress appeared on the Skimm’d from the Couch podcast for promoting her memoir ‘Unfinished’.
During the conversation, Priyanka shared an incident from her initial days as an actress. She revealed that a producer asked her to leave a film just because she spoke about her ‘nominal’ paycheck as compared to her male co-actor.
“I have been kicked out of a movie once… Or told that I should leave. I wasn’t kicked out of it because I decided to stay and suck it (up). I was told that if I don’t take the paycheck which was nominal compared to my co-actor for almost the same amount of work… The producer told me that there are so many other girls who will take this opportunity and women in movies are interchangeable,” Priyanka said.
The ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actress went on to share that she didn’t raise any questions back then as she ‘had to work within the system’ and was put in her mind that it is the ‘only way’ to work in this film industry.
“It took almost 15 years for me to get to that place where, you know, I could stand my ground. It took hearing the conversations from other women banding together to give me the confidence to stand up for myself,” she added.
