Priyanka Chopra has spoken about the issue of pay inequality between men and women. She mentioned an example from her life, revealing how her mother, Madhu Chopra, once earned more than her father Ashok Chopra. She recalled that there was no conflict about it. The actress also emphasized that some men in her life are not threatened by her success. In contrast, some men are insecure about it. Chopra believes that men have traditionally enjoyed being breadwinners. And it can be a challenge to their authority when women become more successful or earn more money.
Chopra continued to speak on the importance of raising sons without gender stereotypes. She believes that teaching boys that crying, showing emotions, and supporting women in their lives is not shameful. It can help to challenge gender norms. Priyanka praised her father for his support of her mother, even when she began earning more than him.
During the conversation, Priyanka gave a shoutout to her husband, Nick Jonas, for supporting her career. She feels proud when he gives her the center stage and steps aside when they walk together on the red carpet. The couple recently attended an event in Mumbai with their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, who was visiting India for the first time.
Priyanka Chopra is currently promoting her upcoming spy-thriller web series, Citadel. She co-stars with Richard Madden and Stanley Tucci in the series. It is directed by Russo Brothers.
