Priyanka Chopra on Sacrifice and Early Career Hustle
At the BRIDGE Summit 2025 in Abu Dhabi, Priyanka reflected on the dedication and sacrifices that shaped her career:
“When I first started, I was not selective at all. Whatever work I would get, I would do because it was a privilege. I would say yes to everything. I was really greedy in my 20s. I wanted to work every day.”
She emphasized how this dedication allowed her to achieve her current success:
“Now I can choose when I want to say yes, but I couldn’t have done that if my younger self hadn’t worked so hard. So I thank her a lot sometimes. Thank your younger self.”
Priyanka credited missing birthdays, festivals, and family moments as necessary sacrifices for building her career.
