Moreover, she recalled a particularly embarrassing moment while working with choreographer Raju Khan. She said, “I was filming with Raju Khan in South Africa and missing my marks. He got so upset with me that he threw the mic down, saying, ‘You might come from a pageant, but learn how to dance before you become an actress.’ He just walked away, and I was so embarrassed.” Despite the incident, Priyanka clarified that the two share a good friendship today.

Determined to improve, Priyanka took her training seriously. She revealed that she practised for hours every day and often studied dance with Katrina Kaif, who was also new to the industry at the time. These sessions played a key role in shaping her confidence and performance skills.

Over the years, Priyanka has proven her growth through several memorable dance numbers, including Desi Girl and Ram Chahe Leela. Looking ahead, the actress will next appear in Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli. The film also stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran, and has already generated buzz among audiences.

Priyanka Chopra’s journey from calling herself a dreadful dancer to becoming a confident performer highlights her dedication and growth. Her candid reflections not only reveal the challenges she faced but also underline the importance of persistence, learning, and support in building a lasting career.
