ON TOP OF HER GAME

Nandini Bhalla: What was it like writing your book, did it bring up any deep memories or emotions?

Priyanka Chopra Jonas: The idea was always to write, I just didn’t know what it would be about. I have written several op-ed pieces for The Hindustan Times and New York Post, but I was always hesitant about writing a novel or a book. When I met the team at Penguin Random House and discussed the idea of a book, my editor suggested a memoir. I had completed 20 years in the business, and we wanted to commemorate that.

I realised, when I looked back, that I didn’t have many memories. I had been running so fast and for so long that I just needed time to stay still and actually think about my life. And then, Covid happened. I was at home for nearly six months. I delved in deep and began treating the book as a diary. I wrote down my milestones, right from when I was born, and built on those. I called up everyone who was involved in those memories and gradually, details began to emerge. It became cathartic for me. This book is not a reflection of my achievements, it is not a testament to my laurels. You won’t learn about career trajectories. I dissect my sorrows and rejections through this book.

Now, on the other side of 35, I am much more confident and self-assured. I have addressed aspects that I never have before, and probably never will again. My memoir caught me at a time when I was vulnerable, and it was an unprecedented time in the world. This [book] is an introspection, my advice to my younger self.

NB: What was Priyanka Chopra Jonas like as a little girl?
