Priyanka Chopra's Unfinished memoir: what we learned – from her marriage to Nick Jonas to addressing the skin-whitening controversy and enduring racist attacks at school in the US
- The biggest Bollywood book of the year lifts the lid on the former Miss World’s private life and career struggles
- As latest project The White Tiger trends on Netflix, Chopra has addressed her controversial endorsement of skin lightening creams
She has over two decades experience in the entertainment business, is a globally recognised face and her most recent project, The White Tiger, reached the mammoth milestone of being watched by 27 million households in its first four weeks on Netflix. And yet Priyanka Chopra Jonas is fiercely private, making sure to create headlines for her career and not her personal life.
But with her memoir Unfinished, released on February 9, the actress, global Unicef Goodwill Ambassador and beauty queen drops the veil and opens up about her personal life, things that have plagued her and the dark times she has been through.
From her marriage to Nick Jonas to racial attacks, this is the Chopra Jonas you’ve never met.
Racial bullying and physical attacks
The actress opened up about being bullied for her looks when she was in school in US. She details how horrible messages were written about her on bathroom walls and how she was attacked at school for the colour of her skin.
She described how she was pushed against school lockers and told “Brownie, go back to your country.” She described how the racial slurs and physical abuse at the tender age of 15 was a confusing time that “broke away at my spirit.”
