Priyanka Chopra Jonas on backing 'Born Hungry': "As an actor and as a producer, my hats are different"

Highlights

  • Priyanka backs Born Hungry because Simpson’s story moved her personally.
  • She hopes the film’s JioHotstar release helps him trace his roots.
  • Her production choices are shaped by her own experience entering the industry without support.


As an actor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is constantly trying to challenge herself but as a producer, she says she wants to back stories that move her personally, something that propelled her to back the documentary "Born Hungry" on celebrity chef Sash Simpson. The documentary, currently streaming on JioHotstar in India, traces the life of Simpson -- from being abandoned as a young boy in India to his adoption in Canada and his eventual success as a renowned chef. It is produced by Priyanka's banner Purple Pebble Pictures along with Barry Avrich's Melbar Entertainment Group. The actor, known for her extensive filmography in India and in the US, said she was moved by Sash Simpson's story. "As an actor and as a producer, my hats are kind of different. And my brain splits into two. I think as an actor, I'm constantly trying to challenge myself. I want to be able to see if I can navigate different genres and if I can do action, comedy, drama... I love challenging myself and that is why my acting career has had variety. "As a producer, I'm empathetic and our ethos is a lot around wanting to give opportunities to newer filmmakers or filmmakers that want to achieve something that they haven't been able to or are kind of hitting a wall somewhere. My production side kind of comes from what personally moves me," Priyanka told PTI in an interview from Los Angeles.
