'I Don't Take Pressure Now'

'I Don't Take Pressure Now'

Priyanka Chopra Jonas says she stopped taking pressure when she reached the point where she could call the shots and make choices about the work that she wanted to do.

While she ventured into films as an actress, PeeCee has also taken on production in the last few years.

Her last outing, The Sky Is Pink, had her on board as a cast member and one of the producers.

When asked if it was stressful to play the dual roles, the actress was quoted as saying, “I took pressure many years ago. Now, I don't. I think it stopped when I reached a point where I could make choices about the work that I wanted to do, when I didn't have to depend on people coming to me with work. That sort of shifted not too long ago, just four or five years ago maybe.”

She goes on to state that “unfortunately with female actors, there is a lot of depending on a lot of people to approve before you are cast in a film. It is the truth. That shifted for me just recently. I guess that gave me a sense of confidence to become a producer, to be able to helm films that I wanted to make.”

But she likes to do films that make her feel nervous while going to the set.

“I like movies that challenge me. I like fiction as well as reality-based. I like the immersive experiences, something that will make me nervous coming to set. I like films where I look at my scene and I am like 'Oh my God! How am I going to do this?' When your fingers tingle, your toes curl... I like experiences like those,” she asserted.
