Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Bollywood, Hollywood, and the Long Road to Quantico

In the Season one finale of Going Rogue, Jill Demling is joined by co-host Edward Barsamian to talk with Priyanka Chopra Jonas during her press tour for The Bluff, discussing her "pirate core" fashion choices, including wearing a customized film breastplate on the red carpet. Priyanka reflects on learning confidence through her parents' emphasis on agency, her military-family upbringing, and experiences of racism while living in the U.S. as a teen before returning to India. She recounts entering Miss India at her brother's urging, winning Miss World, and building a major Bollywood career before moving to Hollywood at 30 and feeling forced to start from zero, resisting "diversity check" roles and landing Quantico. The conversation covers her relationship with Vogue, becoming the first Indian woman on American Vogue's cover, the bittersweet nature of being "first," and her evolving style, brand partnerships, motherhood, and legacy.
