7 Career-Building Lessons You Can Learn From Birthday Girl Priyanka Chopra
Do you know what day is today? It is July 18 and that means it is Priyanka Chopra. Today, the very talented and versatile actor has turned 40 and to say she has had an illustrious career would be an understatement. She is one of those few actresses that has not only ruled Bollywood for the most part of her career but is also making her mark in Hollywood with back-to-back smashing performances. The Matrix Resurrections actor has managed to portray such a wide range of characters even after being in the industry for so long that I can say that no two characters of hers are the same. And all of this she has done while dealing with the ups and downs of life. In fact, I would say that Priyanka Chopra is one of those few people I would go to for career-building lessons.
Priyanka Chopra started with modelling and now she is ruling the global stage. With sheer dedication, hard work, and being true to the craft, the actress has turned her career around and how. This is one of the reasons why I believe that following her lessons on how to build a career might just work.

Here are 5 career-building lessons that birthday girl Priyanka Chopra has taught me:
1. Don’t be afraid to try new things

While most actors reach a stagnancy, Priyanka Chopra got out of her comfort zone and tried her hand in Hollywood and see where she is now. The most difficult part of this lesson is to get out of the comfort zone, but once you’re out, you can reach for the stars.
2. Ignore trolls

Being able to take criticisms is a healthy sign of growth, but another sign is to tune out people who are there to just bring you down and troll you. I mean, isn’t that what the birthday girl did when there were trolls mocking her for her accent, her skin colour, etc.
3. Dress for the job you want

Sometimes we forget that a major part of our personality is reflected in the clothes we wear and so it is very important to dress for the job you want. And Priyanka Chopra Jonas is the prime example of that – have you seen her slaying on the red carpet with just the right attitude. The way you dress also shows how passionate you are about your work.
4. Never forget your roots

After ruling the global stage for a while now, one would assume that the success has gotten to her head or that she has forgotten where she came from. But we all know that is not true. I mean, most of her projects after she turned into a producer are about representation and giving Indian cinema opportunities to showcase their talent.

5. Pick new skills

Honing new skills is never ever a bad idea. The more skill sets you gain the more diverse your portfolio gets and that brings out more opportunities. In Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ case, she is an actor, a businesswoman, a singer, a producer, a philanthropist, and a social worker.
6. Find a life partner who’ll support your ambitions

One of the most important career-building lessons is to find a partner who not just understands your work but also respects it. Because only when they respect the work do they support it. And Priyanka Chopra has made the best choice even in this department. Nick Jonas has openly supported her in every way possible – especially when it comes to her career and it shows.
7. Don’t forget to have fun and some downtime when you can

If there is one thing Priyanka Chopra knows better than most actors, is how to have a good time. Oh boy, just watching her grooving to Hindi songs while stealing some time for self care or partying and traveling the world with her friends and family – she never forgets to have fun. Because all work no play is no fun!
