‘You are defined what you’re doing next, not what you’ve left behind’: Priyanka Chopra

In an interview with YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, actor Priyanka Chopra talked about how curious she is for what’s coming next and what values she finds necessary to inculcate in her life.

“You are defined what you’re doing next, not what you’ve left behind. You should think what am I going to do next that’s going to be different. There’s no point in doing the same thing over and over again. You have to take risks. They are so important in evolution. Playing it safe, you’ll have an exence but you’ll never be someone who’s a trailblazer,” she said.

Failure is going to happen to everyone. Instead of sitting on your hands and saying I can’t do it again, find the courage to say, what can I do differently? How do you look back at your make and say I’m not going to do that again is what I’ve learned from my dad.”
