\"Priyanka<\/p>\n

Priyanka Chopra began establishing her Hollywood career around 2012 when she moved to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Prahlad Kakkar has revealed that Priyanka Chopra had a \u201cserious affair” in the past and why the actress chose to keep it private. While Kakkar did not name the person involved, Bollywood had long speculated about her rumoured connection with Shah Rukh Khan, especially following their films Don (2006) and Don 2 (2011), which showcased their undeniable chemistry.<\/p>\n

Kakkar told Vickey Lalwani, \u201cPriyanka is a doll, she\u2019s a great person to work with. She\u2019s very ambitious, she\u2019s very single-minded, she\u2019s very focused. And she has a certain sense of dignity which she will not allow people to enter. So, her whole, this whole so-called affair, she never made a comment on it. Everybody else was commenting. She never said anything. She held her dignity. And if it was a frivolous relationship, she would have laughed. Obviously, it was serious. So, it was very personal to her. She didn\u2019t want it to be written about, she didn\u2019t want to be talked about it.”<\/p>\n

From Pageant Competitions to Bollywood Stardom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking about her early career, Kakkar recalled her competition with Lara Dutta during the 2000 Femina Miss India pageant. While Lara won the main title and Priyanka was the first runner-up, both went on to secure major international pageant titles that same year. <\/p>\n

Kakkar said, \u201cPriyanka had huge disadvantages at that time. First, she was dark. Second, she had a bad skin. And she still does. Okay, so her skin had to be actually made up and covered. And then she was a strong-looking girl. She lost a lot of weight to look like the way she did in Dostana. She looked like a million dollars in Dostana. I mean, there\u2019s no question about it. She had to work damn hard at it because she\u2019s not a delicate-looking girl. She\u2019s a big-boned girl. So you don\u2019t, you\u2019re not just losing weight on your flesh. You\u2019re also having to deal with a skeleton.”<\/p>\n

Taking Risks and Redefining Success<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kakkar also highlighted Priyanka\u2019s bold move to leave Bollywood and establish herself in the West. \u201cWhen the industry decided that she was too old for young heroines, she was the first Indian heroine to move abroad and make it there. I mean, who takes that kind of risk to leave? You are getting big roles, you are getting parts, you are not top of the line anymore, and you decide, f**k it, I am going to restart my career again. How many people can do that?”<\/p>\n
