From racism, plastic surgery, to some unpleasant experiences in the industry; Priyanka Chopra Jonas has bared it all in her memoir ‘Unfinished’.
The global sensation may cut a smooth figure now, but once upon a time, even she was a terrified 3rd grader!
As per a Zoom report, Chopra was sent to boarding school (La Martiniere Private School for Girls in Lucknow) when she was in her third grade. However, the actress had trouble adjusting to the environment initially.
One night, she vomited in her bed after the lights were turned out. The anxious girl decided she would get into trouble for throwing up at night – so she slept in those puke-stained sheets!
“I’m not sure if I’d eaten something bad or if my sickness was due to the anxiety and fear that sometimes gripped my stomach. Not wanting to get in trouble for making a fuss, I went to sleep with a puddle of vomit in my bed and didn’t tell a soul,” Priyanka wrote.
She then got up at midnight to wash off the vomit from the sheets, hung them up to dry, and went to sleep on a bare mattress. The next morning, before anyone could wake up, she quickly made her bed with those still-damp sheets.
“The solution of a third-grader terrified of what would happen if she made another mistake, considering the last mistake she’d made had been bad enough to get her banished from her family,” read her anecdote.
That sounds pretty mortifying, doesn’t it? But, today, Priyanka Chopra has carved a niche for herself in both Bollywood and Hollywood and she continues to be an inspiration to milllions.
