Chopra’s memoir, Unfinished, to be out next year
New Delhi: Actor Priyanka Chopra will come out with her memoir next year in which she will write about things which she has never spoken before.
“Unfinished” is a collection of personal essays, stories and observations of the actor, producer, activist and Unicef goodwill ambassador, publishers Penguin Random House India announced last night.
The book will be published simultaneously in the US by Ballantine Books and in the UK by Michael Joseph. The UK and Commonwealth ( including India) rights were acquired at an auction from Siobhan O'Neill and Fiona Baird, on behalf of Mel Berger, of William Morris Endeavor.
“The flavour of the book will be honest, funny, spirited, bold, and rebellious, just like me,” says Chopra. “I have always been a private person; I've never spoken about my feelings during my journey but I am ready to do so now,” she says about the book. According to her, she was raised to be fearless when it came to opinions.“I would like to tell my story in the hope of inspiring people — especially women — to change the conversation, to shatter glass ceilings. Women are always told we can't have everything. I want everything, and I believe anyone else can have it too. I'm proof of it,” she says.
Chopra forayed into the entertainment industry at the age of 17 when she won Miss India and went on to win Miss World next year. Besides acting in several Bollywood movies, Chopra earned acclaim over three seasons of “Quantico”, becoming the first Indian actor to star as the lead of a TV series and won two consecutive People’s Choice Awards for the role.
