Priyanka styled her hair in soft, loose waves and opted for a monochromatic makeup look featuring brown-toned eyes, cheeks, and lips. A matte base, subtle highlighter, and mascara completed her sophisticated appearance.
During the session, Priyanka opened up about her creative process, revealing that she relies more on instinct than trends when choosing projects. “I think you follow your gut when it comes to storytelling. I try not to follow trends, because that’s really hard. A trend is interesting right now, it might not be interesting next week,” she said.
The actor further explained that she looks for stories that evoke emotion and stay with audiences long after the credits roll. “So I try not to think through trends, I try to think through how does this make someone feel? My favourite movies are the ones that you talk about later, revisit again, and leave the theatre with something to say about,” Priyanka said.
