Meanwhile talking about being a new parent and her experience as a mother, Priyanka spoke to Lilly Singh while promoting her new book Be a Triangle: How I Went from Being Lost to Getting My Life. She said, "As a new parent right now, I keep thinking that I will never be imposing my desires, fears, my upbringing onto my child. I have always believed that children come through you, not from you. There is no belief like this is my child and I will shape everything. They come through you to find and build their own life. Recognising that really helped me, my parents were very non-judgemental in a certain way."

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra has a number of projects in the pipeline, including the Amazon Prime series Citadel, the romantic drama Text For You, and the Bollywood film Jee Le Zaraa and she is currently awaiting the release of her film It’s All Coming Back to Me, helmed by Jim Strouse
