Mumbai : A two-year-old clip of Priyanka Chopra schooling podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia on maintaining a balance between fame and family had gone viral on social media, leading fans to ask why they forgot she’s an icon not only of Bollywood.
In the clip, Allahbadia asks her, “Do you still go to family functions after achieving the level of fame that you have?” Without missing a beat, Priyanka claps back and says : “So you’re saying I’m not going to dance at the baarat at my brother’s wedding? Of course! To me, family is number one.”
The Quantico star subsequently makes a bold statement, reimagining fame: “My fame is a by-product of my job. It does not define me. I’m not famous for a living, I work for a living and fame comes with it.”
This resurfaced footage brought new meaning in light of Allahbadia’s recent behaviour, which has come under fire on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent, leading fans to revisit Allahbadia’s previous episodes.
Intriguingly, Priyanka made her point in real life recently as she danced at brother Siddharth Chopra’s wedding with Neelam Upadhyaya with her husband Nick Jonas in tow. The viral clip is indicative of her grounded personality and strong core values despite a global superstardom.
Once again, fans are commending Priyanka for her take on fame, family, and staying true to your circumstances.
