‘I was never meek’: Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Miss World, Modi and misogyny

She has conquered Bollywood, broken Hollywood, married a pop superstar, gained millions of followers - and now she is publishing a memoir of life in the spotlight

Priyanka Chopra Jonas looks flawless - perfect skin, gorgeous face, utterly serene and wearing the most immaculately steamed silk shirt I've ever seen. In the background, a fire roars invitingly; to her side, out of sight of Zoom, her mother, Madhu, lies on the floor exercising. This is life as an idyll.

The former Miss World and Bollywood turned Hollywood star is talking about her memoir, Unfinished. And she is quick to point out that there is so much unfinished business. In many ways, she says, at 38 years old, she has barely started. Chopra Jonas has her fingers in so many pies. How would she describe herself? I'm an entertainer, and that bifurcates into being an actor, producer, author, entrepreneur. And I dabble in tech. I would say I'm a multi-hyphenate, professionally."
