Why Is Priyanka Chopra Entrenched In Hollywood While Deepika Padukone Has A Long Way To Go?
There has been no evident rivalry between Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone on desi front, but when offshore affairs are involved, matters take a different turn. Their recent appearance at the MET gala 2017 was no exception...
The recent appearance of Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone
gathered lot of traction on social media. While most of the entertainment sites
dissected their attire, they also helped in generating a thousand of memes and
Twitter jokes. But a close look at most of the pieces also reveals that it was
Priyanka Chopra who was the favoured one. MET Gala, the annual event by the
famed Anna Wintour, gives one a chance to push the boundaries of fashion and it
was here that Priyanka trumped Deepika by a big margin.

While MET Gala is just a reference for this piece, the
larger focus is on the race between these two actresses to grab a pie of
Hollywood. And judging by the current status, Priyanka definitely seems ahead.
The career of both the actresses has been in top gear for the past few years.
The Quantico series put Priyanka in a league that others could only imagine;
Deepika on the other hand has been fighting tooth and nail for a solid foothold
in the other part of the world.

In a day and age when a TV series runs for three seasons
(the third season of Quantico has just been approved), it’s also a stamp of
approval by audiences and an indication that channel bosses are happy with the
cash flow.

The shooting of both XXX - Return of Xander Cage and
Baywatch started simultaneously and both the stars took the onus upon
themselves to ensure that the concerned films were visible everywhere (both
took special interest in the Indian leg). It was a big setback for Mastani
after her debut tryst in the company of Vin Diesel failed to take off.
More set back was in store for Deepika as she failed to
make the cut for the much-acclaimed director Majid Majidi’s film. Her agency
worked over time and made all the possible calls for favourable reports. Images
of her washing clothes at Dhobi Ghat were splashed everywhere but nothing
moved.

As opposed to Deepika, the constant barrage of images of
Priyanka, which are thrown to us at intervals in the company of stars like
Robert De Niro and Whoopi Goldberg, give an altogether different picture. It
establishes the fact that she is now entrenched and has become a part of the
family. Attending the Academy awards and Golden Globes awards and being
presenter too has reinforced Hollywood’s faith in Priyanka.
Deepika still has to do some hard work before she starts
rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers based in LA. She is yet to find
takers among the chat show hosts. Priyanka on the other hand is a case of been
there done that – be it Jimmy Kimmel or Ellen DeGeneres. The chat show acts as
the best indicator of someone’s popularity.
The confidence is now evident in Priyanka’s mannerism as
well. Her trench coat outfit was something, which could have been outrightly
dismissed if worn with no confidence but the bottom line was that she carried
it with aplomb. Let’s not forget for every one-fashion connoisseur there are
always thousands ready to mock things.
Coming back to Deepika, she should probably get inspired
by Priyanka when it comes to working out things the West, as she has been
spending a major part of her work schedule in the La La Land.
The key words here are ‘patience’ and ‘movers &
shakers’.
