Priyanka Chopra Jonas says her career as an actress being âuncertainâ has caused her anxiety because she does not know when she will get paid.
The Bollywood star, known for science fiction film The Matrix Resurrections and spy series Citadel, is one of the highest-paid Indian actresses.
Chopra Jonas told Harperâs Bazaar UK March Issue: âMy job is uncertain. Itâs not a cheque coming in every month, so it creates an anxiety.
âIâm a greedy actor. I love my job very much.â

She also spoke to the magazine about how she enjoys âthe simpler things in life: taking a walk, getting ice-cream, reading a book. And my job is just the oppositeâ.
Chopra Jonas, 42, added: âIâm a cancer (star sign) â I cry at the drop of a hat. I love my family, I live to eat. I like talking about dinner when Iâm having my lunch.â
She tied the knot in two glamours ceremonies with the singer Nick Jonas in 2018, and they welcomed a daughter via surrogacy in 2022.

âYou have to look for someone who respects you,â Jonas added.
