In a new interview, PeeCee confessed there were some men in her life who have been insecure about her success.

Priyanka was quoted saying, “I have some incredible men in my life who are not insecure about my success. But I have also met men in life who are very insecure about my success. I think Men have enjoyed the freedom and pride of being a breadwinner or leaders of the family, it is threatening to their territory when a woman earns or when she is more successful. If a man stays at home and women go to work he will feel bad so we have to teach our sons that there is no shame in crying, being able to share the opportunity with your mother, sister, wife, or girlfriend to give them the spotlight. It’s amazing.”
She added, “My dad this to my mother when she was getting into practice, he was in the military, and my mother was earning more. There was no ego between them. Now, today when I am walking the red carpet with my husband Nick when he steps aside and gives me center stage, I feel very proud that I have surrounded myself with men that don’t have such insecurities. We as a society need to raise those kinds of men that don’t feel insecure about these things.” ALSO READ: Priyanka Chopra On Getting TROLLED For Calling ‘RRR’ Tamil Film: ‘People Try To Find A Mistake In Anything I Do, Have Become More Cautious Now’
