Actor and Global Icon Priyanka Chopra is currently busy promoting her upcoming Hollywood series 'Citadel'.

Recently, the actor opened up about the reason why she left Bollywood and started looking for a career in the US.

During a conversation with Dax Shepherd on his podcast 'Armchair Expert', Priyanka Chopra revealed why she started looking for work in the US and said, "I was being pushed into a corner in the industry. I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break. This music thing gave me an opportunity to go into another part of the world, not crave for the movies I didn't want to get but I would require to schmooze certain clubs and cliques of people. It would require grovelling and I had worked a long time by then that I didn't feel like I wanted to do it."

The 'Fashion' actor marked her singing debut with the song 'In My City' in the year 2012 which also featured American rapper Will.i.am.

The song was a hit and Priyanka garnered a lot of appreciation for her singing.

Post that, she released another big hit song 'Exotic' alongside American rapper Pitbull in the year 2013 and a cover version of the song 'I Can't make you love me' in 2014."So when this music thing came I was like 'fu** it I'am going to America'," she further said in the podcast. -- ANI
