Bollywood actress, pop singer, American TV star, UNICEF ambassador, social crusader… Priyanka Chopra, who is successfully juggling careers and shuttling between two continents, is not just an international icon today but a global citizen in the true sense of the term. After making heads turn with her ‘princess' moment as a presenter at the Emmys last week, the actress is adding another feather to her cap she is co-hosting the Global Citizen Festival in New York today.
Apart from sharing the stage with the who's who of Hollywood, she will also talk about the Global Citizen Festival India, powered by The Times Of India, which will be held in Mumbai on November 19. The concert will see international artistes like Coldplay and Jay Z performing for the first time in the country. Priyanka spoke exclusively to Bombay Times about bringing the campaign here and the social issues that are close to her heart. After presenting at the Oscars and Emmys this year, you're now going to be hosting alongside some of the biggest Hollywood celebrities. You're on a roll…
I keep setting higher standards for myself. I'm my own competition. My aim is to raise the bar and shatter the glass ceiling. I've always believed that no one can tell you that you can't do something. I don't know where I'm heading but I just want to keep walking. As far as the Global Citizen Festival in New York is concerned, I'm very excited.
There are going to be some amazing performances. I'm co-hosting with Hugh Jackman, Salma Hayek Pinault and Neil Patrick Harris among others. Because of the Hindi film industry, I've got the opportunity to be on many global platforms, so I know my job and have trained well.
