'Actors are soft targets. Why can't we have opinions?': Priyanka Chopra
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 12. 2015
- After Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said that the controversy arising out of his comments on the intolerance debate, made in an interview to NDTV, had at least partially hit collections of his new film 'Dilwale', his colleague Priyanka Chopra has said that actors were soft targets who were attacked right before the release of their films. Speaking on NDTV's Town Hall, Ms Chopra, whose 'Bajirao Mastani' also released to success and critical acclaim last week, said that she felt she had to speak up in support of all artistes and actors in general. She said that films are sometimes held to ransom and actors are made to pay the price simply for having an opinion.

I guess she has earned more fans in Hollywood than Bollywood. Lot of respect to her for being so strong
She is so confident yet humble, well-spoken and sure of herself. Add to that the fact that she is intelligent and has a sense of humor. Priyanka is the whole package: beauty, good personality, nice attitude and brains.
oh my god... Indians should be so proud of her... i have never seen a bollywood actress so intelligent ....

Truly iam sri Lankan but very very proud of her as a Asian she is the best
Go and c kangana boy
Aishwarya Rai also
Really? Heard of Sushmita Sen?
Never really understood the fact of why people are intimidated with the rise of strong women.
I get it now and it's called jealousy 😊😊😊. I'm too of her!
Kudos to the bold and beautiful Priyanka!!!♥️
👍
Obviously, coz no one wants to see a,woman strong , they fake it, tht 'o I'm modern n I support women 'but in reality they want her "independent" but one step lower, rare,ppl understand the true meaning of feminism, in our country IV noticed tht some ppl nowdays think tht if ur not,applying makeup n ur not stylish then ur true feminist n otherwise ur a bimbo, that's not true , intelligence has nothing to do vth style ,one can be both or either ,, n she spoke abt the "fake accent" thing, still ppl r still commenting on tht,,n, one more thing I don't get, what's the problem with nose job etc ,,if someone feels the need n can afford it, y not ,,,,v should not forget tht she's in show biz n looks matter,that there's lot more pressure on females(esp,actors) to be good looking according to certain norms,,, n y r v concerned about their natural beauty,I think v should be happy with,what v get to c on the screen,rest is none of our business,they r not family to us, they r professionals , v like their work then v go n watch their movies,otherwise not,,,that's it,,,
She is versatile lady
It's amazing to me how there are Indians who have always said Priyanka was fake and always tried to put on this fake accent. Now that she has done Quantico, these same hypocritical Indians are praising her. It amazes me. I'm not even Indian, but I've always admired Priyanka and her range. I actually love her speech and so called "accent".
+tiffjan True, I completely agree. She spent her schooling years in the US, so obviously her speech would be influenced by that kind of language or accent or whatever. It is easy for us to sit here and judge someone. I honestly don't understand why people make such a huge deal out of trivial things. We live in a more global world now than ever before, and we need to just grow up and accept everyone for the way they are.
+tiffjan u r absolutely wright , we(indians) are biggest hypocrites
not all Indians, if Indians don't accepted her how can she done 50 movies here ? we loved her since we know her(miss world). And those who gave shit about Priyanka before ,they are still doing it like "why she doing that sex scene with a white guy " . So their are many kind of people in my country and in your country and they have opinions about everything.
Wow. She is a rare combination of intellect, beauty, spontaneity and art. No one has ever rode the tide of success with this combination so high in India as she is. Love and Respect for you PC.
I have never been able to watch an interview this long, but Priyanka's answers were so on point. I could not skip through the interview. She is so well spoken and inspiring. I truly believe she deserves all of the succes on her way to the top. It's so hard, unfortunately especially for women, in a country like India to voice their opinions about sexuality/gay rights/marriage/etc., but she does it anyways. Why? Not because she wants make make headlines, but because she fights for what she believes in. She wants women AND men around the world to fight for their rights, not with their fists, but by educating others who fail to treat certain minorities/communities/genders as equals. This is exactly what I stand for, which is probably why her words spoke to me.
As an American who has loved Indian cinema for years, I was so excited when the first promos for Quantico hit. Now a year forward with the second season starting, I still think it's a great show. It's especially fun to show friends Priyanka's earlier films, friends who only know PC from Q-co. Especially films like Barfi or Mastani Bajirao, they really are taken with her depth of talent.
I absolutely love that fact that PC and Q-co is opening up Americans to indian cinema. I've been a fan of her for years, and it excites me that fans of Quantico are more open to watching some of her Bollywood movies and whatnot. They're absolutely amazing and I genuinely get excited to show other Americans indian films.
Same!! My friends think Im insane when I say I watch hindi films and to be honest, I think most hindi films tend to be 10 times better than hollywood films. However, I am glad that americans are now getting exposed to bollywood.
tori2dles I am quite surprised you as an American survived this long despite the unending mass shootings.
Bollywood is not indian cinema, it is Pakistani cinema, run by immigrant refugees from Pakistan, only regional language movies are indian, not hindi/urdu
Priyanka is highly intelligent and successful! She speaks so well! Well done Priyanka
+Peace really???
+Peace If she were intelligent and smart and may be well read she would know that in 1700 women were not allowed to come out due to Islam...it was not India but Islam that made women in India submissive...
+A AA Even if that's true it was still India. How narrow minded of you to separate Islam and India
Tiafulable1 not narrow minded. Its a fact. Notice the difference between brides in the north and the south. IN the north they cover their heads. Parda system was only in the north. That was the entry point of Islam and that is where they were more in number. So barring women from social affairs was their influence. Indian princess and queens had lot more freedom. They had to restricted because the invaders did not bring women with them, and they used to steal women and loot the jewellery...we should have the courage and the freedom to say it. and those who are muslims should not be offended. having said that, islam is a part of india and many of its aspects of great, many are not so much..
+A AA We muslim woman are sick to repeat all the time that WE ARE NOT SUBMISSIVE for god's sake !!!!! It's not because some cover their head or do something that everyone does it or have to do it ! I beg all narrow minded people like you to stop thinking like this ! Muslim women are exactly as any other woman of any other faith in this world ! We as muslim believe in 1 God, cannot eat pork and have alcohol, cannot lie, must respect our parents, and most of all we have to respect
evryobody and be a good person to everyone, and that's all !!!!! Besides this it's up to every woman to have her own choice to do whatever she wants ! If she doesnt want to go out of her house then there is nothing to do with Islam or whatever religion ! It can be her choice or maybe she belongs to a rude family Who doesnt let her out, but THERE IS NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM ! And trust me I have been studying this religion my whole entire life ! I hope one day the media would stop spreading lies about this religion, as I dont wish any other culture or religion will have to face that one day ! Maybe my words will affect you in some points, maybe not, I'm just hoping all this hatred will stop one day.
Damn she's so real. I used to think a few years ago she was really fake, etc. but nah she's proving she's an intelligent, leading female. Killing it👌
This is probably the first interview from any actor/actress in any film industry that I watched till the end. Great interview, great supported arguments. She is very intelligent and well spoken
Indunil Bandara Same!
I watched all pc interview till end
Her interview are always interesting
I absolutely love this woman. Intelligent, articulate, beautiful, kind, compassionate, funny. Just a wonderful inspiration.
hit life I think it might be the other way around. Not saying Nick doesn’t love her however she would have been successful regardless in whatever she chooses to do with her life.
@@rimjhimkaraki8070 What is success as per you...stardom, glamor media attention publicity everything is short lived and false...this is a typical 3rd world slave mentality...for you money and riches earned through false publicity....attention seeking disorder is a disease....this is the problem with South Asian society desperate for money and fake success...most incompetent human race on this face of this plane...illegally enter Western societies to seek benefits which you never get in you failed nations!
@@hitlife4945 dude 90 percent people will call this woman successful in india but very knew are curious about Kalpana Chawla or maybe Hima Das. So shallow :) and such wannabes...😞
hit life do you know how ridiculous you sound, omg, this woman have had major success in her country, then can to America and star in her own show and won awards for it and u have the nerve to talk about her wanting to marry a guys for green card, she has been traveling to the state since she was a child and went to school here until she was in her late teen, if she wanted to get green card her family here would've already done that, and even now she can do it herself, she doesn't need a guy for that, stop being a hater, you're green eye with jealousy
Jhen Shon 👎🏻
Love how sensible, smart and sassy Priyanka is and most of all, she gives her honest opinion not being overtly brash or cocky. Great going !
PC is so inspiring....we need to learn from her to be a better person..im not Indian but im so proud of her......India should be proud of her...
I agree
Ann Nax India is really proud of her... 😊😊
Same here bro
Beauty, talent and intelligence. Such a rare combination to find in one woman. Nothing but respect for Priyanka.
i am amazed by her answers. she answers so smart and confident. her words have a deep meaning. thanks priyanka!
+Meryem Chopra nope they are not....she is full of herself and her ideas are good for those who are not very intelligent.....
+Meryem Chopra If she were intelligent and smart and may be well read she would know that in 1700 women were not allowed to come out due to Islam...it was not India but Islam that made women in India submissive...
+Meryem Chopra
Barkha---sleeping with a stranger is empowering? doing drugs and getting drunk is empowering? you idiotic people have no clues about power....power is what Gandhi talked about''''---no one should be able to buy you....but more importantly---you do not engage in ' pleasure without commitment....' (Gandhi's notes)
+Meryem Chopra filmmakers have the right to make whatever they want..30:45-- .and censor board censors...but your crappy movies are everywhere today, and parents have to work to survive, they do not get millions for showing their body parts like you do. So, is it all to parents now and our children will just watch this everywhere and listen to it everywhere? bollywood is everywhere...you should take some responsibility. you are a disgrace...
+A AA not doing things everyone does once in their youth is empowering? studying hard for over 12 years, avoiding boys until you're 25 and then marrying a stranger to become nothing but a housewife is empowering? being tied down by a man after getting married is empowering? funny how no one says anything when a male does any of those things? did you not even watch the video??? empowerment doesn't have one set definition, it varies from person to person. there's not only one way to empower someone. she literally said her character on the show is empowered due to the fact that she does what she wants, when she wants, and doesn't care what anyone has to say about it. she's not an underprivileged poor girl from some rural village, don't expect her to say the only kind of female empowerment is through going to school. she's never had to deal with that problem before in her life so she's talking about it through the mindset of someone that's more privileged, like her character on the show. that Gandhi quote is not even relevant here lol
I'm not a huge fan of priyanka chopra.
But i must say she is very smart, beautiful and the way she Talks just goes straight into the soul because you Can Feel that she Speaks from the heart.
Big respect For This woman.
she is amazing as always, pity & slap to those who feel she is fake

her songs are fake though, auto tune

Amazed by her attitude n approach...way to go girl...
We need more South Asian actors in Hollywood. Priyanka isn't fake for adapting to such a drastically different market.
Now, their long wait is over! You found the love of your life in Nick that will be there for you and stand by you who loves you so dearly! Age does not matter! He is matured in his outlook in life and values family life! Worth that wait! Hope to see little ones soon! ❤️❤️❤️
Priyanka worked hard and if she is were she is now, she deserves all the fame, stars etc... Why do people huge and question when someone (not from Hollywood) succeed. Well done Prianka. I am not Indian but watched hundred of Bollywood movies. Some are outstanding and many actors are gifted.
You have finally won me over Miss Chopra, go girl.
Such wisdom instilled in this actor, worth the time I watched for sure. Even more respect for priyanka now.
she is extremely intelligent.. wow
+Yashaswini Lavang If she were intelligent and smart and may be well read she would know that in 1700 women were not allowed to come out due to Islam...it was not India but Islam that made women in India submissive...
The same India in 1700's believe in Sati which was a former Hindu practice of a woman throwing herself in her husband's pyre because she had no meaning to life when her husband was gone. The same India that believed a widow should not get married, should shave her head off and dedicate her life to God so yah Priyanka is right about women being submissive in India in the olden ages. It wasn't just India, women's basic rights to education and vote were not taken seriously during that period.
So stop trying to blame a religion, have some tolerance and a positive attitude.
+Yashaswini Lavang Yes! Priyanka is very intelligent and a good orator.
She is awesome and handle all the question that are thrown at her so well! Agree!
Her hair looks pretty in curls.
this girl is A-MA-ZING ! she is so real... smart, beautiful. I love her
and she defends Shahrukh Khan..always...
Talking about sexual scenes not being accepted in Indian society or among Indian viewers.. I certainly don't understand the popularity of the show called GAME OF THRONES among the Indian audience..! Just because an Indian is doing a show which has "SOME" sexual and bold scenes, it doesn't have to be such a big deal..! If the audience are skeptic of the acceptance of such shows then they must not encourage GOT in India at all! But ofcourse thats not the case.. This is called Hypocrisy..
you are a gem...that's so true
Yeah true and I feel that indians don't have any problem with sexual scenes in shows which are from a different country but if it is made in india ,every person gets mad that how can you show such content to family audience and so on ,that's why I feel indian tv industry in not growing because we want to show the same saas bahu dramas and claim them to be for "family audience "
Indians r the most hypocrites people in the world, saying this being an Indian.
intelligent, guts, beauty with brain Priyanka Chopra.....Love this girl
hats off to u girl!! great beauty and knowledge and for those who hate her..remember she way ahead of u and have achieved so much for her age..and it broke my heart when she said she is the fixer in her family and she could not fix her dad..may God bless u with more courage
Pc iz wow!! I luv her... N I rely want to meet her once in my life tym but before I die.....hope I "ll get a chance to meet her...no wrds here to describe dat I only woman I wanted to meet
She is most influential n intelligent actress in India ! We proud to have you...
She is so confident and is a strong woman ...Awesome answers to tough questions. Beauty with brain ... Love you girl
Priyanka is exremely intelligent!
Priyanka, so kool, bright, well spoken, well put together, beautiful, amazing actor, amazing dancer, amazing EVERYTHING!
Priyaanka is the smartest bolywood actress
+No Worries If she were intelligent and smart and may be well read she would know that in 1700 women were not allowed to come out due to Islam...it was not India but Islam that made women in India submissive...
+A AA i am maharashtrian and i know for sure that at that time women had to live in restrictions :)
***** Seriously?
+MnR Zayna - Yes! I do watching Katrina's interviews but I feel like she holds back on her opinion several times and will not speak up on a serious matter whereas Priyanka is more vocal about her beliefs and values in most of her interviews. Both ladies are smart and strong but I admire Priyanka more.
Tyrion Stark ask
She's cool and well-spoken
I love the fact that she didn't use YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, UMMM UMMM.😊
She is so beautiful and smart! I love how she's a feminist and speaks her mind.
26:56 dang that was so smooth. I'm thoroughly impressed by Priyanka's intellect because yes she's beautiful but also profound. I love that she speak for women's education and parallels it with actions because the truest test of one's conviction for a cause has to be their actions.
You got to have so much energy to talk for hours and hours and Priyanka is so energetic and she travels so frequently between India and America
wow Priyanka chopra has such an amazing intellect, absolutely fantastic
*What an interview. Literally no one can touch her..*
All the questions are so rude and judgemental! And she's dealing with them with such confidence with a smile on her face. Wow. Amazing priyanka. Love you ❣️❣️
its awe- inspiring....i was never a fan of Priyanka Chopra ..but today after watching this interview i feel like she is undoubtfully the most beautiful, magnificant woman on india..I am really proud that you are a part of Indian cinema and our soceity.. i feel empowered after watching this show....Just brilliant ..
Priyanka Chopra is a great inspiration for all women and not only for Indian women but also for world's women
We should be proud of her
Congratulations priyanka chopra for ur all achievements

And all time shine.
she is perfect human
Wonderful interview Priyanka. My best wishes with you.
Beautiful, eloquent and a brilliant actress. Priyanka, keep making Bollywood & the rest of the world proud.
Excellent all around. Priyanka is an outstanding individual.
I'm not sure how Bollywood actors get casted for their parts in movies (do they just decide you are a good fit for a character and cast you straight away?)
But in Hollywood, it doesn't matter if you're Leonardo DiCaprio or Meryl Streep. It doesn't matter if the director already has an actor in mind that they'd want to cast for their character. You audition regardless to see if you're a good fit for the character.
There have been many big actors that were passed over to up-and-coming actors to play lead roles in blockbuster movies. It's just the way it is sometimes and how it should be.
Yeah. Many great scripts have pathetic actors who ruin it. Some of these directors are responsible for the art not to evolve more because they have preferences. These days it is changing but sadly to this day and age nepotism is a big issue plaguing the art. People are also partially responsible as they worship big actor/actress or kids of famours artists. So it is beneficial to cast them than build art.
She is so amazing!!! Love this girl and so much Respect !!!
Ufffff. ...what an interview... Point to point answers...
Such a good interview. I have a new found respect for her!!
Shi is very intelligent,beautiful, thoughtful and inspirational person. Shi speak very well... I realy proud of you mam
I was a bit at odd and intrigued the way she handled these inflammatory comments passed by barkha when she pointedly wanted to make a good gossip material out of it . Instead of beating around the bush she was vocal about the hollow nature of our film industry , ideology and society . Looking at her she would make a good orator too the way she handled the question not dodging but accurately answering them better than most agenda - laced politicians . She earned my respect .
It was a pleasure watching this interview and vocal PC! :)
Priyanka bow down to you; so admirable in numerous aspects!
This was a good interview. The thing about the pay disparity is, the bar is set so much lower for male stars, especially in India. They could get one blockbuster years ago and they're pay is now locked into place to be 300x more than what the actress makes and they're now the new "reigning superstar". He could get a few flops here and there but he'll still get paid a huge chunk of money compared to the actress that could have had multiple blockbusters in just the past few months/year because directors and producers think the investment is still worth it more for the male. And not just actresses, it's ridiculously how much money actors make PER film compared to how little the people like the technicians and makeup artists etc. make when they're a huge part of a film's success too. All these actors could still live comfortably if they make a 1/5th of what they make now and the rest is divided up between the behind the scenes group of people apart of the team.
Ranbir Kapoor can still demand 9-10 crores for his next movie even after the travesty that was BV but once an actress gets a flop or two she's automatically tagged a bad luck charm. I never see any guys get that title? A lot of it also has to do with the fact that hero worship in India is on a much higher scale compared to heroine worship.
***** first of all, quit bringing everything around to feminism as if it's the worst thing to happen to men when the world's been catering to every need and cry of men for basically all of humanity. it has everything to do with a gender propaganda when men are getting paid anymore, i don't think you know what gender inequality means. and no, people like kangana who've literally carried films like queen and tanu weds manu to success at the box office still get paid way less than someone like srk for doing a shitty film like happy new year. and that girl's been gaining tons of popularity post queen, and even won another national award. the wage gap is not a myth when it's literally still happening today so i won't even bother with you since you're clearly dense enough to believe that bullshit. have fun trolling somewhere else.
***** stop replying to me good grief
damn she is way more real than rest of the actresses accept kangana
smartest of alll...love how she defines women empowerment
I can watch her everytime... She changes our perspective always in a better way
she's such a brave and amazing person. to speak up about such controversial issues takes a lot of guts. i really love her. everything about her. more celebs should be like her. be yourself. say what you believe..don't let haters scare you into keeping silent. best of luck PC. i hope you get all the success you ever wished for.
She is extremely intelligent and beautiful
She's is inspired to her country India 🇮🇳 an great actor 🥰her accent in Indian 👳 is better way 😍exxelleny answered lady P.🥰
sounds like a well educated woman. I wonder how much she studied academically ?
+ Sara Enayath- Surprisingly, not a whole lot because she won the Miss World pageant at a really young age (17-18) and she started movies after her 1 year reign of Miss World but she has repeatedly mentioned it as a regret that she didn't pursue higher studies. It's nice to see though how intelligent, elegant and involved she is with women's issue such as female feticide, and right to education. She is a UNICEF ambassador.
Even a professor of English won,t be as ELOQUENT as SHE is in the Language .

i agree so much with the how we were brought up V/S how things are today ..... i remember knowing it all , and it *didn't* make a difference as to what i saw that person as ..... I DON'T REMEMBER WHEN MY RACE , GENDER, SKIN COLOR STARTED MATTERING ???
I am writing a paper on who is a portrait of a leader for a class/ club. I had two women I wanted to write about Amber Lau from f(x) from Korea. She is an example to teenagers all over trying to find your voice. And Priyanka chopra I finally get to write why she a very influential person in my life. I am Mexican- american, and just women from other countries who have a voice in their country makes me so proud. Women of different skin colors breaking these stereotypes they are building bridges! This helped a lot main points on why she is a great influence to a lot of young women and everyone around the world.
She is full of grace and intelligence ❤👌😙

I have clapped after this beautiful thought.
