Priyanka Chopra Podcast with Ranveer Allahbadia – Global Success & Personal Journey

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Some interviews with celebrities. And then some conversations, because honestly you get a real insight into the mind and life of someone who has done something incredible.

The second one is the Priyanka Chopra episode from The Ranveer Show.

She is arguably the most celebrated Indian in the world. Her rise from smalltown girl to Miss World to Bollywood superstar and Hollywood star to an actress turned producer, entrepreneur, author and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador makes for one of the most captivating tales in the annals of Indian show business.

When she finally sat with Ranveer Allahbadia, she was nothing less than what even his biggest fans.

In that blog I have covered.; the best concepts, the comedy stories, the unforgettable incidents and the life lessons from that discussion.

The Beginning of the Conversation

The Beginning of the Conversation

The show opens with Priyanka talking about a few existing pictures and reminiscences from his cozy surroundings- his middle class life in Jamshedpur,ar my office father ,ex-doctor mother and a nomadic (every 5-6 years) life while roaming around various cities.

She considers the idea that that far-away life, even if not necessarily positive, too substantially faraway, too destabilising, nonetheless gave her something: girl-living-becoming-historian can adapt, relate to people from any social stratum, feel at home in her own body and mind, but not anywhere specific

…and her ability to adapt. That she says has been one of the things that has helped her get along in life where she’s constantly encountered fresh places-new countries, new cultures, new industries-and had to make herself at home.

Ranveer can immediately identify with this and as if in response, the next conversation takes place. It is personal, solid and enlightening.

From Miss World to Bollywood – The Early Journey

The probably most interesting part of the podcast was Priyanka Chopra explaining how she had started her career.

She is talking about her experiences, she is talking about the Miss World pageant – why she almost didn’t participate and how winning the title has changed her life in the most unimaginable ways.

She talks with no shame about those early days in Bollywood-the failed auditions, the roles she wasn’t considered for, the doubts she had experienced about her career, and also about the rejections that she never got over, despite having come a long way… ahead of most of us.

She said that, as a young girl she knew she’d have to fight he wasn’t going to do anything for her, she had to work for what she wanted and all that training has provided her with the firm foundation for the years to come.

Making it in Hollywood – Breaking Barriers

Possibly the most talked about section of this podcast is Priyanka Chopra’s honestly naked truthfulness about her life and journey from Bollywood to Hollywood.

It wasn’t a triumphant walk by any means… It was a real hard journey she described. She was a giant star in India and an untested new queen in Hollywood- constantly doubted her, in a universe that assumed an exact type of woman.

She talks about ABC’s Quantico when she was the star-playing Alex Parrish-that was one of the very first South Asian leading ladies of an American network drama.She said she got the job but it took everything she had to maintain it and to actually take advantages of it.

But she is equally honest about how she has been discriminated against: about the times that her accent, her culture, her race was an obstacle that others it appears did not have. She was determined not to let those issues define her, but she is also determined not to pretend they don’t matter.

Mental Health, Failure, and Resilience

There is no more compelling part of the podcast than the interview with Priyanka Chopra, talking about mental health and the psychology of dealing with failure and public criticism.

She describes a time in her Hollywood career when her series of bombs had the press writing her career obituary. She recalls the articles. She recalls the process of reading the articles. And she discusses the internal struggle she experienced in silence to prevent the propagandis from coming true to her.

Her response was not to tune out the criticism or try to deny that it was hurting her. It was to shape so firmly into her own vision of who she was and wanted to become, that it could withstand the din.

She emphasizes having your community with you that will tell you when you step of course or go astray, even if it’s not fun and raw honest truth.

This struck a chord with many younger viewers who faced the cruelty of criticism on social media.

Entrepreneurship and Building a Global Brand

Priyanka Chopra is much more than just an actress. She is also a producer, an entrepreneur and builds brands – and in this podcast she discusses how that other side of her career has evolved.

She discusses her production company, Purple Pebble Pictures, and her approach of discovering and presenting stories that are significant – in particular, stories of India, and the larger South Asian world that see little representation on the world stage.

Another show she shares her experience with is her haircare brand Anomaly, as well as her investments in various restaurants where she shares her model of brand building: first starting with a passion, then building it through the platform she has in order to focus the attention there, instead of just licensing her name to a product, which may be more conventional.

She is that way with her entrepreneurial ventures should be with our acting careers the same way she is about that: invested, thinking in the longterm, and never doing things half-hearted.

Relationships, Marriage and Personal Life

Priyanka Chopra is candid about her marriage to musician Nick Jonas and how it has changed her perspective on herself and marriage.

What she has as a theme is the difficulty of having a relationship when you’re two very committed people, living in two different cities for most of the time, both being constantly exposed in the press and suffering the toll this takes on a relationship.

Graces feeds this back to me..honesty about that being a big part, the communication, an awareness and effort to put the relationship first when you’re busy with work, and the simple fact that marriage is great if you have a partner who is admiring of your ambitions; not threatened by them.

She reflects on the experience of having her daughter Malti, and the effect it has had–a massive paradigm shift and shift in values.

Why This Podcast Became So Popular

The Priyanka Chopra episode was easily the most talked about celebrity interview in TRS history for a number of reasons.

First, I was really thrown. The public was prepared for a standard, staged celebrity interview. And instead it became so unprotected and precious.

She is truly remarkable. Her journey from where she was to where she is today is mind-blowingly far; it’s so far it’s almost beyond belief. But it’s told in such a human way that it doesn’t seem removed and obscured like a mythic tale.

Third, the questions he asked were appropriate. He went to the deeper places, and she was able to be there with him. It made the dialogue seem authentic and like a real discussion.

Conclusion

The Priyanka Chopra interview in The Ranveer Show might just be one of the best celebrity interviews ever done on an Indian podcast.

That’s what it is because Priyanka Chopra is really honest about it. She isn’t acting. She isn’t directing. She’s participating. And what she told me about being ambitious. About persistence, failure, love, about the ongoing rush to build your very life shares is precious for every person.
