Former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra has opened up about how a botched cosmetic procedure took a toll on her mental health.
Speaking to Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show, Priyanka confessed that she fell into a “deep deep depression” after going under the knife and was worried that her career was “over” before it had even began.
The Bollywood star said the botched nose job saw her being dropped from three movies, pushing her into depression.
The 40-year-old actress said she underwent the surgery to get a simple polyp in her nose removed but “this thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression. It was a dark phase.”
It was her father, a doctor himself, who convinced Priyanka to go under the knife again – this time to correct the botched job. She recalled telling her father that she was scared, but he told her “I will be in the room with you.”
She admitted: “He held my hands through it and helped me build back my confidence.”
The film roles slowly returned, and Priyanka pointed out one director in particular, Anil Sharma, who when she was dropped from the lead to a supporting character, urged her to “give it your all”, which she did.
Chopra is known not just for acting, but for her daredevil attitude and outspoken nature.
She is a former beauty queen, who went on to dominate the world of acting after winning the Miss World 2000 pageant.
She is one of India’s highest-paid actresses that has grabbed opportunities on international platforms.
From receiving the prestigious Padma Shri to being listed among the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women by Forbes, Priyanka Chopra is eyeing to dominate the world with her work as she had expressed on several public platforms in the past.
Chopra went on to star in several major Hollywood TV series, including ‘Citadel’ and ‘Quantico’.
