Priyanka Chopra Says This Simple Principle Is The Secret Behind Her Career Success and Longevity

People may know Priyanka Chopra best as the beautiful wife to singer Nick Jonas but she’s much more than that. Throughout her almost two decades in the entertainment business, the 36-year-old Indian beauty has managed to remain relevant and even successfully crossed over into Hollywood.

So, what’s the secret behind her long and fruitful career?

The Importance of Planning

Chopra is married to American musician Nick Jonas who’s 10 years her junior.

According to the actress, she makes sure that she always has multiple plans to achieve her goals. Saying how it could be scary for anyone to move forward in their careers, people should learn not to put all their eggs in one basket in case things don’t work out.

Thus, Chopra always had a plan B or C to fall back on going through the risks of improving her career. However, she clarified that this doesn’t mean that people should have plenty of career choices but looking for as many opportunities in one career path. And speaking of opportunities, the actress said she’s also a fan of creating opportunities for oneself instead of just waiting for them to come by.

Chopra’s Multi-faceted Career

Chopra was crowned the winner of the 2000 Miss World pageant where she represented her home country prior to becoming an actress.

Before she landed on roles in the American acting scene, Chopra was a veteran of Bollywood films. Proof of this is her 40-film strong filmography making her one of India’s biggest stars in her prime.

Now, she’s managed to become a global star with her roles in the television show Quantico and the films, Baywatch and Isn’t It Romantic. Not bad for a former Miss World pageant titleholder, huh?

What more, she’s also used her fame and fortune to help the needy. The Indian actress was even included in the 2016 Time’s 100 Most Influential People list for her stints as a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and a spokesperson for the United Nations Girl Up campaign. Additionally, Chopra has created her own nonprofit, The Priyanka Chopra Foundation For Health and Education.

Meanwhile, she’s also helping her husband, who she married in two lavish ceremonies in Rajasthan, India, in 2018, with his own career. Chopra has recently starred in the music video for the Jonas Brothers comeback single, ‘Sucker’, along.

Latest Ventures

Her production house was behind the critically-acclaimed Indian film, Ventilator, in 2016.

Keeping true to her motto, Chopra has expanded her horizons by starting her own production company, Purple Pebble Picture.

Started years ago, the India-based company specializes in producing small budget films starring new yet talented actors and directors. The production company currently has seven films in its portfolio with another three sets to come out this 2019.

When asked about how she juggles her multiple responsibilities, Chopra said that she believes women are natural multitaskers. Not only that, but she said they also have the ability to produce quality work despite having to do many tasks. She also emphasized the importance of learning how to choose which things to prioritize.
