Actress Priyanka Chopra has revealed what she thinks of doing stunts on sets. The actress will soon be seen in the web series Citadel alongside actor Richard Madden. She recently admitted that she does not like to do stunts herself on the sets. "I didn't want to do my stunts," said Priyanka.
As per a report by Deadline, Priyanka recalled her experience of doing her own stunts not just for her American TV show but also for the Bollywood movies in which she has worked for a long time.
The Citadel actress said, "I trust myself to do it, the mandate from the filmmakers was, We would love for the actors' faces to be seen as much as you can and where you feel safe. I'm someone who has tremendous experience with action movies and action parts. Not just with my TV show, but my Bollywood action movies. I was working 15, 20 years ago when I didn't even have stunt doubles. I had a little man wearing a wig with shaved arms that used to do stunts for me that were too dangerous because we didn't even have women at that time. So I learned how to do my stuff".
She also revealed how she got the scar as her left eyebrow had an unfortunate run in the camera. Explaining the incident she said, "It was at the end of a rainy London day, and we were losing light so it was. Let's rush, rush, rush the ground was wet, and I went an inch in front of where I was supposed to stop. So the camera came an inch closer to me and the matte box took out my eyebrow. But you know, I have a cool scar and a good story to tell. I just put some surgical glue on her and closed her up and finished the day."
Priyanka later added, "I didn't want to come back and have to do that whole thing again was just like, 'Let's just get it done.' I had fake blood and mud and stuff on my face anyway so you couldn't even tell."
Madden who also performed massive stunts for the movie narrated why he agreed to perform such action sequences for the movie. The actor said, "I've got a lot of dull aches I'm not as young as I used to be. There's a lot of stretching that goes on now. But it was worth it. I wanted to do all of the stunts because we're trying to make the action and the drama intertwined. I can't just be like, 'I'm gonna sit in my trailer and let the stuntman do it.' They want my face in there because Priyanka and I needed to connect together, and we get to tell a bit of the story in the middle of an action sequence. We don't want to miss out on that."
Citadel will premiere on Amazon Prime on April 28.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
