Priyanka Chopra Jonas says developing memoir Unfinished helped her dissect her failures, face demons of the past and forgo experiences that no longer matter to her.

Going through the pages of her memoir Unfinished, one realises how the road to success was daunting and difficult for Priyanka Chopra Jonas. From carving her niche in the largely nepotistic Bollywood to battling clichés about being the brown woman in the room in the West, she has chronicled intimate stories from her journey. A chunk of the memoir was written during the pandemic last year.
Considering almost everyone’s emotions were heightened during the lockdown, did she view her personal journey from a different prism? “I wanted this book to not be about my achievements, but more about the moments and experiences that have shaped me. Since I started writing it when I was home for six months and had the ground beneath my feet, I treated it like a journal. A lot of introspection happened organically — a dissection of my failures, my sadness, and my struggles. It is my story in my own words. It’s scary because I’m putting out my truth for the world to know and judge,” says the actor.
