Book Review/Fan Letter, 'Priyanka Chopra: The Incredible Story of a Global Bollywood Star.'

The day I saw .’Aitraaz,’ I was eleven years old and Priyanka Chopra instantly became my favourite actor from Bollywood. I have followed her journey from that day onwards, religiously. It was not a surprise for me when she instantly became the favourite actor of almost everyone in India but I was secretly angry at everyone for their hypocrisy as they like her now just because she is popular globally when previously they didn’t like her.
                 For her to represent India at a global level actually made me very proud as a fellow citizen and a fan. I have followed her journey since the age of eleven but to get the inside story, the making of this global star was something I couldn’t miss out on.
                 Aseem Chhabra has done an amazing work in utilising all his sources well and getting them to talk about the Priyanka they know. Not only Priyanka, in this book, Chhabra has also given insights on various actors who started off their careers with Priyanka, which just works as a cherry on the top.
                  I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the minute details which led her to the path she is on now, and to see how all her decisions shaped up in her life. Almost everyone who talked about her in this book said the same thing about her,that she knows nothing but hard work, and I have to give her credit for teaching me that because It is from her various interviews, social media posts, and speeches that I learned that hard work is the only key to success and it is great to know that she herself is the prime example of it.
                   I read this book in one sitting, that is how hooked I was, and how effortless the writing of this book is. The tone of writing became repetitive towards the end, and for that reason it is not a five star read for me.
In a nutshell, if you are a Priyanka Chopra fan or are just curious to know more about how she achieved what and where she is right now, then you should definitely pick this book up.

My Verdict :4/5
