Priyanka Chopra: My Skin Colour Has Nothing To Do With What I've Achieved!

Priyanka Chopra opened up about the pressures Indian girls face regarding their skin colour and unfortunately the issue is widely prevalent all across the country. Women are looked down upon just because of their skin colour and PeeCee opened up to Allure Magazine about the mentality and said that the primitive mindset needs to be changed! She said,

"(My skin) is as complicated as I am. When I was growing up, I didn't see anyone on television who looked like me. Initially, companies didn't have colours that matched Asian or Indian skin. Because I'm darker, I had issues as a teenager - society pressure that a girl is prettier if she's lighter. Pressures exist, and it's on us to make those pressures not seem important to girls."

She further commented, "I've achieved what I've achieved, and skin colour has nothing to do with it. In fact, it might have been an asset. I like the colour of my skin very much. It's so primitive to me that people are judged on the basis of the colour of their skin. I mean, it's skin. We all have it."

Priyanka Chopra is steadly making her name in Hollywood and apart from starring in Baywatch and Quantico, she has hosted the Oscars, attended the talk show of Ellen Degeneres and also was a guest at the Jimmy Fallon Show. She's is slowly yet steadily climbing the stairs of success in Hollywood.
