Priyanka Chopra on surgery that caused depression

Priyanka Chopra shared how she suffered due to a botched-up surgery that caused depression. Priyanka shared how the removal of a polyp in her nasal cavity went terribly wrong. Priyanka said “This thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression,” She said this resulted in her getting fired from three projects and she thought that her career would come to an abrupt end.

She said she was tensed when her father who was a doctor suggested a corrective surgery. She said  “I was terrified of that, but he was like, ‘I will be in the room with you,'" she remembered. "He held my hands through it and helped me build back my confidence.”

She said only director Anil Sharma did not remove her out of the project. She added “I was supposed to play this lead, and I was shifted to a supporting character. That filmmaker was very kind. He, while the tide was against me, said, ‘It will be a small part but give it your all.’ And I did,”

Anil Sharma got angry when he saw Priyanka's nose as it requires 6-7 weeks to heal. Though Priyanka and her mother returned the cheque, Anil Sharma was kind enough to cast Priyanka in a supporting role.
