[When I started my career], I was constantly striving for perfection. But over time, I realized that emotional connection [to fans] came from saying, &#8216;I made a mistake&#8217; &#8230; <!-- -->and I think that&#8217;s okay.

She said, &#8220;When I came to America, I wanted more work, which had me as a lead, which had me doing parts that I don&#8217;t think a lot of studios imagined an Indian actor doing. So I started producing my own movies.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The actress also reflected on her own struggle and shared her motivation to start a production house. She revealed, &#8220;When I came into the film industry, I didn&#8217;t know anyone &#8230; when new people come into film and TV, that is my sweet spot. I want to, as a production house, to be the shoulders for entertainers and creators to jump off, because I created a platform and I know how hard it is.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Priyanka Chopra&#8217;s upcoming films<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>After wrapping up work on &#8216;Varanasi&#8217;, Priyanka will shift focus to her next producing &#8216;Reset&#8217; that will also see her playing the lead opposite <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/orlando-bloom\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\">Orlando Bloom<\/a>.
