Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Sunday said she is thrilled that her debut book “Unfinished: A Memoir” became a worldwide bestseller without being a “salacious” read.
The memoir, which was released earlier this year by Penguin Random House India, offers insights into Priyanka’s childhood in India, her formative teenage years in the US where she endured bouts of racism; to her return to India, where she unexpectedly won the national and global beauty pageants that launched her acting career.
The 39-year-old actor, who was in conversation with columnist-author Vinita Dawra Nangia at the virtual Times Litfest 2021, opened about how she wanted to write a tell-all book about her life with grace.
When asked if she was tempted to drop names, Priyanka said, “No, because it’s no one else’s story but mine. It’s actually funny. I remember reading few reviews that said, ‘Oh she didn’t speak the truth’ about things like that. I thought, basically you wanted a gossip rag in my book, not a tell-all.”
