Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ memoir Unfinished is finally out, and the actor is experiencing a “slew of emotions”. In a new video, Priyanka said she is “emotional and excited” as her book released on Tuesday.
“There have been so many of you who have supported me through my entire career and there have been those who have not. But this is not for you. This is for just people who are curious about me. I am hoping with this book you get to know me a little bit as a person, a little bit more than the headlines you read about me,” The White Tiger actor shared. She also read out the preface of her book in the video.
While unveiling the cover of her book last year, Priyanka had described her process of writing in a series of posts. She shared that penning Unfinished required unpacking a lot of her past, including things she thought she had made peace with.
“The funny thing about writing a memoir is that it forces you to look at things differently, reconciling so many things you thought you had put to bed. In doing so I’ve realized that being “unfinished” has deeper meaning for me, and has in fact been one of the most common threads of my life…,” the Sky Is Pink star wrote.
Priyanka Chopra appeared on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show to promote her memoir.
“While shaving off the polyp, the doctor also accidentally shaved the bridge of my nose and the bridge collapsed. When it was time to remove the bandages and the condition of my nose was revealed, Mom and I were horrified. My original nose was gone. My face looked completely different. I wasn’t me anymore,” the global star wrote in her book.

Narrating a fun incident about how one day, Priyanka and Bob were sitting on the couch watching television. As she saw her aunt coming towards their room, she shoved him into the closet.
"Stay there until I can send her to the grocery store. Kiran masi entered the house and started looking into each room carefully. I was sitting on my bed, with my biology book, pretending I was studying. She came to my doorway and said "Open it" and I asked her "open what." "Open your closet," said my aunt. I was shaken as I have never seen my aunt this angry. I opened the closet door, it was a big mess: a boy came out," wrote Priyanka.
The actor added that her aunt was furious and even called her mother to complain about her.

According to The Independent, Priyanka Chopra, in her memoir, has revealed about a shocking incident that happened soon after she won Miss World in 2000.
The actor had met a filmmaker to discuss the prospect of a film. And after “assessing" her, the filmmaker told her that she needed to go under the knife. “After a few minutes of small talk, the director/producer told me to stand up and twirl for him. I did. He stared at me long and hard, assessing me, and then suggested that I get a boob job, fix my jaw, and add a little more cushioning to my butt. If I wanted to be an actress, he said I’d need to have my proportions ‘fixed’, and he knew a great doctor in LA he could send me to. My then-manager voiced his agreement with the assessment,” she wrote in her book.
Priyanka Chopra's memoir Unfinished is not only about her achievements. In a conversation with Fortune India she revealed that the book also touches upon “my failures, my sadness and the times in my life where I have struggled".
