I Am All About Girl Love
Femina|November 09 2017

Priyanka Chopra is an early millennial who’s tasted success, yet not been a slave to it. At the height of her fame in the Indian  fi lm industry, she tossed it all up for that elusive international dream. Truly a global icon today, PC straddles time zones like a pro. In her personal life too, she is in no hurry to take the plunge. (Take that, you infuriating biological clock). Tanya Chaitanya gabs with the born-to-entertain Priyanka over an exasperating phone connection to fi nally declare that Femina couldn’t have found a more positive poster girl for millennials to topline this anniversary special. Dare call'em lazy now!

Tanya Chaitanya
I Am All About Girl Love

It’s midnight in India. I’m frantically performing callisthenics in a desperate quest for the putatively-omnipresent-but-never-there-when you-need-it mobile network at my place. As I hang on to the phone and precariously lean over the parapet of our terrace, I hear that familiar drawl all the way from LA. Priyanka Chopra is all set to rule the red carpet at the Emmy’s and has decided to multi-task her way through makeup, hair and styling to be a part of this interview. But here’s the catch: I can barely hear her and then she says what sounds like, “I am all over with my time zones and super-exhausted after covering four countries in the last 10 days, yet I wanted to do this in time. It’s great to be on the cover of Femina’s anniversary issue. Feels like home to me.” Poetic and dramatic, but it’s at this point that the connection clears up. Here is how the exchange progressed, one dropped call at a time.

Femina: They say millennials hate to settle in one place, settle in matrimony. Basically no adulting. How much do you identify with that? PC: I guess my life identifies with it. In general, they want the most out of life. So do I.

Femina: Laziness is a millennial trait that you clearly don’t own.

PC: While I’m not lazy per se, there are times when I want to be nothing but that. At that point, I don’t step out, not move a finger and be on my own.

Femina: Your international work, be it in Quantico or Baywatch, is being seen and appreciated around the world. Any quirks of the Indian film industry that you don’t miss?
