My Younger Self Worked So Hard For The Comfort I Enjoy Now – Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra

Bollywood and Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has opened up the privilege of finally being able to be selective with her time and work. She recently had her say while speaking at the BRIDGE Summit in Abu Dhabi, and fans have been reacting.

According to her, even though being selective was not how her acting journey began, she is grateful for the hard work her younger self put in to guarantee a more relaxed future.

Priyanka added that working with discipline many years ago is the reason she can pick and choose her projects now.

Her words, “When I first started working, I was not selective at all. Whatever work I would get, I would do because it’s a privilege to just get work… I would say yes to everything. I was really greedy in my 20s. I wanted to work every day.

Now Beyoncé said this, and I’m going to quote her. I feel like I’m on the other side of my sacrifice. I worked really hard. I missed birthdays. I missed when my father was in the hospital… I missed Christmases, I missed Diwali. I missed time with my family… That time, I needed to work that hard. And that 20-year-old me needed to make those sacrifices for this woman to have the life that I have now.

I do think it’s a luxury… sometimes you’ve got to hustle. There’s no other way around it… having a work ethic, having discipline, and going after it will get you to a point where you can pull back. Now I can choose when I want to say yes, but I couldn’t have done that if she hadn’t worked so hard. So I thank her a lot sometimes. Thank your younger self.”

WOW.

The cinema of the United States, consisting mainly of major film studios (also known metonymously as Hollywood) along with some independent films, has had a large effect on the global film industry since the early 20th century.

The dominant style of American cinema is classical Hollywood cinema, which developed from 1910 to 1962 and is still typical of most films made there to this day.

Hollywood is considered to be the oldest film industry, in the sense of being the place where the earliest film studios and production companies emerged. It is the birthplace of various genres of cinema —among them comedy, drama, action, the musical, romance, horror, science fiction, and the epic—and has set the example for other national film industries.

Many of Hollywood’s highest-grossing movies have generated more box-office revenue and ticket sales outside the United States than films made elsewhere. The United States is a leading pioneer in motion picture engineering and technology.
