Financial independence is of utmost importance. My mother always said that when a woman is financially independent, she has the opportunity to live life on her own terms. I think this was the best advice I've ever received.
There are so many beautiful and talented people, it is important to know who you are and be yourself. I always tell actors that if you try to be someone else, you lose your identity. Imitation - best form flattery, but you must have your own personality. I have my idols, but I have always tried to be true to myself. This is the only way to get noticed.
The most beautiful thing that can make you beautiful any time and any day is self-confidence. Keep it to yourself and everyone will love you.
We worry a lot in life because something doesn’t work out or we don’t get it. But you need to continue chasing your dream and not despair, but everyone has a time, I had this many times, when I didn’t get anything I needed. We must remember that this is all fate. Maybe something doesn’t work out for you, but everything works out eventually. We must remember that everything will pass.
When you get home and go to bed, it's important to remember that you didn't do anything wrong today. Even if you made a mistake and everyone tells you: “What have you done?”, if you can live with it and sleep peacefully and if you didn’t mean anything bad, then everything is fine. This is good, this is normal, even if it is a mistake. Making mistakes with grace and dignity is what it means to be the perfect Priyanka.
Sexuality is a state of mind, in my opinion. Feeling sexy is what makes you look sexy. It is not necessary to have perfect figure or most Beautiful face, it really is a state of mind. If you feel sexy, you will be seen as such.
Great love and great achievements require great sacrifice.
My father always inspired me to do something, both in playing music and in being who I am. The only thing he told me was: “No matter what you do, it’s okay if you can then come home, look into my eyes and think that you can still be called my daughter.”
