After Priyanka Chopra made headlines this week for saying that being ‘bullied’ and ‘cornered’ in Bollywood forced her to move to America, many of her contemporaries like Kangana Ranaut and cousin Meera Chopra voiced their support for the Citadel star. Now, her manager Anjula Acharia has also spoken up in her defence.

Anjula, replying to a tweet that mentioned how even she was discouraged from working with Priyanka at one point, said, “Naysayers are just noise!” She said that she knew Priyanka was a “global star” the first time she saw her on TV.

Priyanka opened up in a recent podcast about being “cornered” in Bollywood and feeling tired of the politics in the Hindi film industry. She also suggested that she wasn’t being cast in movies as she had some “beef” with people in the industry. The actor was talking to Dax Shepherd on his podcast Armchair Expert. Priyanka had also credited Anjula for coming to her rescue. She had shared how Anjula had seen her in a music video and connected with her to ask if she would be interested in building a career as a music artiste in the US.

A year ago, Anjula had revealed that she was discouraged to invest in Priyanka. Speaking with Forbes, Anjula had said that there was a lot of ‘negativity’ surrounding Priyanka when they started working together, and the majority of it came from India. Anjula revealed that important film industry people warned her not to work with Priyanka, and told her, “She is never going to work, I don’t know why you are wasting your time.”

Anjula has been with Priyanka ever since she left India to go to the US and live the American dream. Priyanka and Anjula were also together at the South Asian Excellence at The Oscars 2023.
