Priyanka Chopra: My job doesn't define me

Priyanka

Chopra has proved her acting mettle over the years with projects like Fashion, Barfi,, Dil Dhadakne Do and many others. She has now built a formidable career in the West as well with projects like Quantico, Baywatch and Citadel.But she has never let her career define who she is. She explained how she separates her personal life from her professional life while she was in conversation with

Bhumi Pednekar

at the Mumbai Film Festival.

The Quantico actress stated that being a public personality is challenging and has the potential to consume her entirely. "My job is my job, it's not my existence, it's not my designation. It is not who I am," said Priyanka. She further added, "Who I am, is a woman that goes home. Who I am is the person that is gonna see my mom right now. Who I am, is the person that's really missing my daughter and my husband. Who I am is that. When I go to work, it's my job."

“Because our jobs are tough. We're public people. It can consume you completely. You feel like agar Twitter pe aapke baare mein 1000 log bura bol rahe hain, toh aapki puri zindagi kharaab hai. (If 1000 people are criticizing you on Twitter, then you start feeling that your entire life is awful). It’s not true," concluded the actress.
