Priyanka Chopra is someone who grew up in America, got married to an American, and is currently living in the US. However, she has clung to her culture in a heartwarming way. From framing her gathbandhan to performing pujas at her place during Diwali wearing traditional attire, it is evident that she takes pride in her culture and never misses an opportunity to embrace it.
According to The Indian Express, Priyanka recently opened up about it. She said that she carries her ‘home’, ‘mandir’, ‘mom’, and ‘achaar’ everywhere she goes.

“You can take me out of India but you can’t take India out of me. My culture or me being who I am just sort of goes with me in a bubble wherever I’m. So I never feel like I’m away from home at all. My home is always with me, my mandir is always with me, my mom is always with me, my achaar (pickles) is always with me. So you know I’m good,” she said.

Adding to this revelation, she spoke about being mindful about balancing working in two completely separate industries.
“I also feel it’s been very very strategic and always wanted to balance both industries because there are very few actors around the world who have been able to do that,” she said.
