According to Priyanka Chopra, a failed nose surgery sent her into a “deep melancholy” and made her fear that her career would be over. The actor discussed the procedure he had to go through after becoming Miss World 2000. When Priyanka was asked about the surgery’s failure in a recent interview, she referred to it as a “sad phase.”

Priyanka visited a doctor shortly after becoming Miss World more than 20 years ago because she was having problems breathing and had a “head cold.” She said that the medical professional had discovered a polyp in her nasal cavity and had advised surgery to remove it. The actor said that the doctor unintentionally shaved his nose’s bridge, causing him to tumble, which altered his appearance and resulted in his termination from three movies. His acting career would end “before it had really began,” he feared.
A doctor in the Indian Army, Priyanka’s late father Ashok Chopra persuaded her to have corrective surgery in spite of her reluctance. “I would go into a deep, deep sadness, and it would happen that my face would seem completely different… Before she ever got started, it (her acting career) was done (because after the fact she had was fired from three different films). I was afraid of him, but her father assured me that he would be in the room with me, according to Priyanka on The Howard Stern Show.
Priyanka praised Bollywood filmmaker Anil Sharma for giving her the job despite all of this. She stated: “I was cast in a supporting part when I was expected to play the lead. When everything was against me, the director (Anil Sharma) was really gracious and said, “This is a minor part.” Give it your all, but it will happen. I did, too.” The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, Priyanka’s first Hindi film, was directed by Anil (2003).
Priyanka has previously discussed the procedure in public. The actor recalls worrying that his self-esteem would never “recover from the blow” in his 2021 memoir, Unfinished. She claimed that in order to advance her career, she had been urged to get more cosmetic surgeries.
In her book, Priyanka described a director/producer as having a “long and hard look at me, assessed me, and then suggested I get a breast job, clinching my jaw.” should correct it and add a little more padding to my butt. She advised me to “correct” my proportions if I wanted to become an actor, and she knew a fantastic doctor in Los Angeles who might have sent me. My former boss concurred with the evaluation. He claimed that he ultimately rejected the suggestion because he felt deceived by his management.
Priyanka and her singer-husband Nick Jonas were recently spotted together at the Met Gala 2023. She recently finished promoting the Hollywood movie Love Again, and on Wednesday she joined co-star Sam Heughan at the film’s New York premiere.
