The Quantico actress stated that being a public personality is challenging and has the potential to consume her entirely. "My job is my job, it's not my existence, it's not my designation. It is not who I am," said Priyanka. She further added, "Who I am, is a woman that goes home. Who I am is the person that is gonna see my mom right now. Who I am, is the person that's really missing my daughter and my husband. Who I am is that. When I go to work, it's my job."



“Because our jobs are tough. We're public people. It can consume you completely. You feel like agar Twitter pe aapke baare mein 1000 log bura bol rahe hain, toh aapki puri zindagi kharaab hai. (If 1000 people are criticizing you on Twitter, then you start feeling that your entire life is awful). It’s not true," concluded the actress.


On work front Priyanka Chopra will be seen in Ilya Naishuller’s film Heads Of State, co-starring John Cena and Idris Elba. The shooting of the film had been put on hold because of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
