Priyanka Chopra: “I’m my own competition”

With her Emmys appearance last weekend, Priyanka Chopra is on a roll rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

When asked on how she felt about her booming career in Hollywood, she told Times Of India, “I keep setting higher standards for myself. I’m my own competition. My aim is to raise the bar and shatter the glass ceiling. I’ve always believed that no one can tell you that you can’t do something. I don’t know where I’m heading but I just want to keep walking. As far as the Global Citizen Festival in New York is concerned, I’m very excited. There are going to be some amazing performances. I’m co-hosting with Hugh Jackman, Salma Hayek Pinault and Neil Patrick Harris among others. Because of the Hindi film industry, I’ve got the opportunity to be on many global platforms, so I know my job and have trained well. What’s more exciting is that I’m going to talk about the Global Citizen Festival India on stage tonight. The concert in Mumbai will be very entertaining. Apart from international artistes, Aamir Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Katrina Kaif will also be a part of it.”

Chopra is an UNICEF ambassador. As a part of this, Chopra is promoting the Global Citizen Festival India, which takes place in November. However, due to her filming commitments in Hollywood, she will be unable to attend. She told the publication, “I am upset and annoyed that I won’t be able to attend the fest. That’s because I’m shooting in New York and will return to India only in December. Once I wrap up the second season of my American TV show, I will pack up everything in the US and come back to Mumbai. I am feeling very homesick.”
