Actor Priyanka Chopra has opened up about how she always stays true to her roots and is surrounded by elements of Indian culture wherever she goes. She talked about having her mother Madhu Chopra by her side, carrying her ‘mandir’(altar) and her pickles. In a new interview, Priyanka also said that she ‘wanted to balance both industries’ as few actors have been able to do so.

Priyanka Chopra has been busy promoting her upcoming film The Matrix Resurrections. The actor will be seen essaying the role of Sati in the film. Directed by Lana Wachowski, The Matrix Resurrections also brings back Keanu Reeves as Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity.

Speaking to Rasha Goel in an interview, Priyanka said, “You can take me out of India but you can’t take India out of me. My culture or me being who I am just sort of goes with me in a bubble wherever I’m. So I never feel like I’m away from home at all. My home is always with me, my mandir (altar) is always with me, my mom is always with me, my achaar (pickles) is always with me. So you know I’m good. I don’t ever feel that way.”

She also added, “And I also feel it’s been very very strategic and always wanted to balance both industries because there are very few actors around the world who have been able to do that.”

The Matrix Resurrections is the fourth instalment of the franchise and is set to release on December 22. The film also stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jessica Henwick, Christina Ricci, Neil Patrick Harris and Jonathan Groff.

Recently, Priyanka slammed a media report for referring to her as ‘the wife of Nick Jonas’. On Instagram Stories, she shared a screenshot of the article and said she fails to understand why this ‘happens to women’ even today.

“Very interesting that I’m promoting one of the most iconic film franchises of all time, and I’m still referenced as ‘the wife of…’,” she wrote. “Please explain how this still happens to women? Should I add my IMDb link to my bio?” she also said. In the post, she also tagged her husband, singer Nick Jonas with whom she tied the knot in 2018.
