She dominated the industry with her big songs and well-liked movies, but it wasn’t until 2015 that she broke out on the global stage thanks to the American series Quantico. Since then, she has contributed to numerous worldwide projects, including Baywatch and Isn’t It Romantic.

Recently, Priyanka was included in the BBC’s list of the 100 most important women in the world. Other Indians who made the list in addition to Priyanka included aeronautical engineer Sirisha Bandla, social worker Sneha Jawale, and Booker-winning author Geetanjali Shree.

Speaking in a recent interview, Priyanka said about colorism in Bollywood, she said, “I was called ‘black cat’, ‘dusky’. I mean, what does ‘dusky’ even mean in a country where we are literally all brown? I thought I was not pretty enough, I believed that I would have to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my fellow actors who were lighter skinned. But I thought that was right because it was so normalised.”

She added, “Of course, that comes from our colonial past, it’s not even been 100 years since we shed the British Raj, so we still hold on to it, I think. But it is up to our generation to be able to cut those ties and change it so that the next generation doesn’t inherit the equity placed on light skin.”

Priyanka went to the Red Sea International Film Festival, which took place in Saudi Arabia last week, for the second time. Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, and Freida Pinto all attended the festival.
