Priyanka Chopra opens on work-life balance at MAMI festival: "My job is not my existence, who I am is..."

In a recent captivating appearance at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas shared some deeply introspective thoughts about her life and career. The actress, who recently graced Mumbai with her presence and hosted the festival's opening night, engaged in a masterclass session alongside actress Bhumi Pednekar. During this enlightening conversation, Priyanka opened up about how her job as a public personality does not define her entire existence.

Amid the glitz and glamour of the film industry, Priyanka emphasized that her job is just that—a job. It is not a reflection of her complete identity. She stated, "My job is my job, it's not my existence, it's not my designation. It is not who I am."

With an air of authenticity, she delved further into her personal life, highlighting the significance of her roles as a woman, a daughter, a wife, and a mother. Priyanka underlined that her true self is the one who returns home, the one who cherishes moments with her family. "Who I am is the person that is gonna see my mom right now," she shared, revealing her genuine connections with her loved ones.

In a heartwarming confession, the global sensation expressed her longing for her husband, Nick Jonas, and their daughter, Malti Marie. "Who I am is the person that's really missing my daughter and my husband. Who I am is that. When I go to work, it's my job."

The actress also shed light on the complexities of being in the public eye. Priyanka acknowledged the challenges that come with fame and how public perception can engulf one's entire existence. "Because our jobs are tough. We're public people. It can consume you completely. You feel like agar Twitter pe aapke baare mein 1000 log bura bol rahe hain, toh aapki puri zindagi kharaab hai. It’s not true," she astutely remarked, highlighting the potential impact of social media on one's well-being.

As she continues to carve her path in the entertainment industry, Priyanka Chopra Jonas exemplifies the essence of work-life balance and staying grounded in the whirlwind of stardom.
