Priyanka Chopra Jonas: I'm really grateful that my book is number one bestseller without it being salacious

Priyanka Chopra Janos’ memoir named Unfinished was launched earlier this year. The book has received a great response and it has become one of the best sellers.

Unfinished gives insights into PeeCee’s life from her childhood in India, her formative teenage years in the US where she faced racism; to her return to India, where she won the national and global beauty pageants, and her acting career.


According to PTI, the actress recently spoke to columnist-author Vinita Dawra Nangia at the virtual Times Litfest 2021 and opened about how she wanted to write a tell-all book about her life with grace.

When asked if she was tempted to drop names, PeeCee said, "No, because it's no one else's story but mine. It's actually funny. I remember reading few reviews that said, 'Oh she didn't speak the truth' about things like that. I thought, basically you wanted a gossip rag in my book, not a tell-all."

"I'm really grateful that my book is number one bestseller without it being salacious. I don't respond to that (gossips). I am not that person. I believe in having grace and a lot of the media doesn't," She added.

Priyanka says that writing a memoir was tough.  The actress said, "Writing a book is a different ball game. You need to know what each chapter means and how you're ending it. The technique of writing it was the hardest part, and to make it an interesting read.”

"I didn't want the book to cater to just my fans or people who love me. I wanted it to be a good read, be funny, interesting, have a sense of personality," she added.

On the work front, Priyanka will be seen in movies like The Matrix Resurrections, Text For You, and Jee Le Zara. The actress also has Amazon Prime Video’s series Citadel lined up.

The trailer of The Matrix Resurrections was released a few days ago. We got a small glimpse of Priyanka in it. The movie is slated to release in December.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor move into £24 million six-floor Pali Hill home just in time for Diwali

Highlights:

  • That Pali Hill plot where the old Kapoor house stood is finally ready.
  • They put out a note themselves, talking about new beginnings and asking for some space.
  • It is huge: six floors, hanging gardens, the whole works.
  • Neetu Kapoor moves in with them.
  • Alia just bagged another Filmfare award for Jigra.

So, the construction fences are finally down. The boxes are being packed. Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are finally hauling boxes into that Pali Hill place, and choosing Diwali for it is certainly no accident. This is a proper family move, the whole clan under one roof. Calling it a 'new build' feels incomplete, doesn't it? I mean, they tore the old place down, sure, but the land itself? That is all Kapoor history. They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.
