Priyanka Chopra’s much-awaited memoir Unfinished, is finally out. Priyanka had recently opened up on facing racism as a teenager and now, she has shared an incident involving the first film director she met, who suggested her to undergo the knife. Sharing details, she says, “After a few minutes of small talk, the director/producer told me to stand up and twirl for him. I did. He stared at me long and hard, assessing me, and then suggested that I get a b*** job, fix my jaw, and add a little more cushioning to my b***. If I wanted to be an actress, he said, I’d need to have my proportions fixed.”

Further, talking about her memoir, PeeCee says, “I was in a place in my life where I sat down and wrote about the milestones in my life. These happened to be those things, that I’d kept personal in my heart, things I’ve been affected by…. I’m a woman in the entertainment business, which is kind of patriarchal, I had to be very tough. When entertainers show their weakness, people enjoy pulling you down. I kept my walls up, did my job and didn’t talk about things I overcame. This book is not me offering any form of clarification. It’s a story of my life from my eyes.”
