Priyanka Chopra openly said Bollywood is closed for outsiders

Priyanka Chopra explained why she gave opportunities to outsiders through Purple Pebble Pictures.

Beginnings and facing reality

Priyanka Chopra recently opened up at an event about how Bollywood was “closed off” to outsiders when she entered the industry.

Her career began in 2000 after winning a beauty pageant and she has been working in Hindi and Tamil films since 2002.

But what she quickly realised was that those with a film family have it easy, while outsiders have to really fight for it.

Why Purple Pebble Pictures was formed

This experience inspired her to start her own production house, Purple Pebble Pictures.

Priyanka said she wanted to create that space not for herself but for those who don’t get a chance — small-budget filmmakers, new writers and actors who don’t get access to bigger platforms.

Her goal was clear: to give a voice and project stories that are often destined to go unnoticed.

Struggle, ambition and luck

Priyanka told that she too struggled a lot. She had to listen to reports of not being cast, had to face politics and sometimes she was even ‘pushed into a corner’.

But one thing remained strong in her – ambition and not being afraid of defeat.

This passion took her forward and she created an opportunity and showed that people coming from outside can also make a solid place in the industry.

Talk of support and change from the heart

Purple Pebble Pictures is not just a company; for Priyanka, it is a platform on which she wants to bring those stories that are usually ignored due to a big budget or classy rules.

She proudly admitted that the films and projects she supported got a good response and those artists got the light they needed.

Is Bollywood changing

It is clear from Priyanka’s words that struggle is still needed to make a presence in Bollywood, but steps are being taken in the direction of change.

Outsiders are getting opportunities, the demand for specialty content is growing and digital platforms have given a platform to new voices.

Efforts like Priyanka’s initiative can accelerate this change.

Last point

Priyanka Chopra’s experience and her activist-producer mindset show that the doors to talent should not be closed.

When big names and resources create such platforms, it is not just a victory for one person, but it is life-changing for many new artists.
