Meera brands cousin Priyanka “a mentor in life”

Priyanka Chopra is not only creating waves in Hollywood, it seems she’s helping cousin Meera Chopra with the same dream.

It was reported a while back on BizAsiaLive.com that Meera will be seen in a Hollywood fantasy film. Its now emerged that Priyanka has been giving a helping hand to Meera with her western projects.

Talking to Deccan Chronicle, Meera said, “The role is for a movie series being produced by CTV, one of the biggest channels in Canada. It is the role of an Indian girl who is an astrologer and makes a big difference to the life of a Canadian couple, which is going through trying times. They are projecting astrology as a very game-chancing Indian science.”

Asked about Priyanka’s involvement in Meera’s latest work, she said, “Priyanka has always played a mentor in my life and this time too she prodded me to take it up. She has always believed in experimenting with genres because she believes that even a seemingly less promising role could take you places in your career.”

Meera denied she was aiming to take on Hollywood full-time, she said, “Not yet. I am in the process of signing two projects in Bollywod but you never know, this could just be the beginning of a great career ahead.”
