You can take an Indian out of India, but not India out of an Indian. Something similar can be said for Priyanka Chopra, who has carved a niche for herself as a global star, after enthralling everyone with her impressive acting performances in India for years. Recently, she graced the cover of Grazia UK, and in a video interaction with the magazine, the actor opened up about her weirdest food habit, and it has a link to her home country.

Wondering what is it? It’s related to achaar! “I can put achaar in anything. Let me tell you what they are. Achaars are Indian pickles. They can be made of anything. They can be made out of vegetables, they can be made out of meat, they can be made out of radish, they can be made out of mango, fruit, whatever,” she said.

Further, she added that achaars are “usually spicy” and that she can “put them in sandwiches, pizzas, Indian food, and even Chinese food, sometimes”. “Indian Chinese is awesome. But yeah, my achaars are kind of weird because I put them in everything,” she said.

During the conversation, Priyanka also revealed three beauty products we will always find in her bathroom cabinet. “You’ll always find an amazing moisturiser. I switch my moisturisers, depending on what I want to use. You’ll always find brow wax. I love almond/coconut oil on my body. I love coconut oil on my hair and scalp. Oiling is very important to me. I love lip oil, face oil, hair oil, body oil, etc,” the Citadel star said.

On being asked about her favourite red carpet moment, Priyanka replied, “It was when I went and met my future husband on the Met Gala red carpet. It was special, in retrospect, because I met my future husband there.”

If she’s throwing a party, what will be the dress code? “The dress code will be comfortable chic. You could wear pyjamas with an oversized shirt and some sparkly earrings. I love being comfortable at a party and you can take your shoes off as soon as the pictures are done,” the actor said.

She also revealed her go-to comfort watch show during the interaction. “I like Law & Order, Friends, The Office, Arrested Development,” adding that her first celebrity crush was Tupac Shakur. “I may have worn black for 20 days after he died. Really, I felt like a widow. He was like my big crush when I was in 8th or 9th grade.”

What’s the first thing she notices when she meets someone? It’s how they smell, Priyanka admitted. “I don’t know why my olfactory senses pick up. If it’s too much perfume or not enough perfume, I can tell. It tells me a lot about someone’s personality.”

She also opened up about her worst habit — procrastination. “Don’t get me wrong! I get a lot done. But I am also good at not getting a lot done, too. It’s an art form. I have stacks of scripts in front of me and I am on TikTok,” she said.

If Priyanka could raid any celebrity’s wardrobe, it would be Rihanna’s. “She would have lots of jewellery which I would love to play dress up in. I love her choice of clothes. She expresses her personality with her clothes and unlike a lot of us, she probably owns her clothes. So, I would go into her wardrobe,” she said.
