In a candid interview with Vogue Arabia, Priyanka Chopra reflected on her early career struggles, admitting she was a 'dreadful' dancer. She recounted a memorable incident with choreographer Raju Khan, who, frustrated with her performance during a shoot in South Africa, told her to 'learn how to dance before you become an actress.' This experience left her embarrassed but motivated her to improve her skills. With the help of fellow actress Katrina Kaif, Chopra practiced dancing for six hours a day. Today, she is known for her hit dance tracks and is set to return to Indian cinema in the film 'Varanasi', directed by SS Rajamouli, where she plays a character named Mandakini. The film, which also stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is anticipated to release in 2027. Chopra expressed her excitement about working across Bollywood and Hollywood for over 12 years, appreciating the opportunity to tell diverse stories in different languages.
