Lisa, in her interaction with Times of India, opened up on facing similar situation like Priyanka. She told “I haven’t had that exact experience, but I have written about my experiences in my book. I refused to play the game and I stood up against a lot of egos in the industry. I won’t say I paid the price for that because I never wanted to be part of mainstream Bollywood, so I was in a very different position. “She further added “I think that Priyanka is definitely a very bold, intelligent, accomplished and driven woman of today and a hope for tomorrow. She inspires the younger generation to pursue their vision, uncompromisingly. That’s another subtle message she gives out. So, I would rather speak on the subtle messages she puts out. Just by being out there, being self-made.”
Priyanka had recalled in Dax Shepard’s podcast that “I was being pushed into a corner in the industry (Bollywood). I had people not casting me, I had beef with people, I am not good at playing that game so I kind of was tired of the politics and I said I needed a break.” The actor will next be seen in John Cena and Idris Elba starrer Heads of State.
