Priyanka
Chopra's
association
with
her
manager
Anjula
Acharia
dates
back
to
2009
when
the
latter
along
with
music
producer
Jimmy
Iovine
decided
to
bring
an
Indian
star
to
the
States.
Under
their
label
called
Desi
Hits/Interscope,
the
actress
made
her
music
debut
in
2012
with
the
single,
In
My
City.
Soon,
Anjula
played
an
important
role
in
putting
Priyanka
on
American
television
and
the
world
stage.
Recently,
in
an
interview
with
Forbes
magazine,
Anjula
revealed
that
she
was
initially
warned
by
some
'prominent
people'
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
from
signing
the
Quantico
star.
She
recalled
how
she
was
told
at
a
dinner
party
that
she
was
wasting
her
time
(by
signing
Priyanka).
Anjula
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
magazine,
"I
remember
when
I
first
signed
Priyanka,
there
were
a
lot
of
people,
particularly
in
India,
who
were
so
negative.
I
was
at
this
dinner,
at
my
friend
Manish
Goyal's
house
in
New
York,
with
some
prominent
people
from
the
Hindi
film
industry
and
they
were
just
so
negative
about
her.
They
were
like,
'She
is
never
going
to
work,
I
don't
know
why
you
are
wasting
your
time',
blah
blah."
She
further
continued,
"I
remember
feeling
really
hurt
actually,
at
the
time.
I
remember
being
like,
'Am
I
wasting
my
time?'
But
this
is
where
your
self-belief
comes
in.
It
seemed
like
a
crazy
dream,
right,
to
bring
somebody
from
India
to
Hollywood?
But
I
got
to
tell
you,
when
I
look
in
Priyanka's
eyes,
I
just
believe.
Priyanka
is
just
undeniable,
she
is
a
disruptor."
Anjula
said
that
she
chose
to
go
with
her
instincts
and
played
her
bets
on
the
actress.
Over
a
period
of
time,
Priyanka
proved
her
naysayers
wrong
by
being
a
global
domination
in
every
sense.
From
starring
in
international
projects
to
slaying
the
red
carpet
with
her
stunning
appearances,
the
actress
has
earned
fans
all
across
the
globe.
Anjula
is
Priyanka's
wing
woman
who
has
a
huge
role
in
orchestrating
the
actress's
successful
career
in
the
west.
In
her
memoir
'Unfinished',
PeeCee
has
expressed
her
gratitude
to
Anjula
for
dreaming
big
with
her.
