She further added that she knew Priyanka would be a global star the first time she saw her on Television. “Priyanka is undeniable,” she wrote.

Anjula’s 2021 Interview

In the old interview, Anjula Acharia recalled the time she first sign a deal with the Bajirao Mastani actress. “Many people, particularly in India were negative,” She said.

She then spoke about how they tried to talk her down by saying that Priyanka Chopra isn’t going to work and she is just wasting her time. “I remember feeling so hurt,” she said.

Anjula and Priyanka’s ties go as back as 2011 when the actress was working for the film Saat Khoon Maaf. She rang up the actress and asked if she is interested in pursuing a music career in Hollywood.

Despite working with big names such as Pitbull and Will. I.Am, Priyanka’s music career didn’t take off.

However, Anjula also got Priyanka into auditioning for acting roles, which worked better for the actress.

Speaking of Priyanka’s success, Anjula called it a crazy dream. She said it seemed unreal to bring someone from India to make it big in Hollywood. But looking into Priyanka’s eyes made her believe.

Besides Anjula, Kangana Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra’s cousin Meera Chopra has also spoken in PC’s support.
