The 38-year-old opened up about her experiences leading up to the choice, speaking to People<\/em> in an exclusive interview which will release this Friday, January 22. She\u2019s of course promoting her new memoir, Unfinished<\/em>, and went into great detail about her relationship with the US in her book.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Priyanka, who was born in India, says she experienced a TON of racist bullying during her years attending an American high school. It got so bad that young girls would shout out racial slurs and demand that she return to India on an elephant<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What is wrong with people?!<\/p>\n

The actress understandably withdrew after being treated this way and found herself acting uncharacteristically reserved. She admitted:<\/p>\n

\u201cI went into a shell. I was like, \u2018Don\u2019t look at me. I just want to be invisible.\u2019 My confidence was stripped. I\u2019ve always considered myself a confident person, but I was very unsure of where I stood, of who I was.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And this is coming from the woman who would go on to be Miss World in 2000! The point is, negativity effects us ALL \u2014 even the most self-assured and confident individuals.<\/p>\n

During the interview, the Quantico<\/em> star added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even blame the city, honestly. I just think it was girls who, at that age, just want to say something that\u2019ll hurt. Now, at the other side of 35, I can say that it probably comes from a place of them being insecure. But at that time, I took it very personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fortunately for Priyanka, she was able to make a phone call back home to her parents and let them know she couldn\u2019t stay in America any longer. They happ<\/a>ily welcomed her back, and she finished the rest of her schooling in India. Once she returned, Chopra explained:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so blessed that when I went back to India, I was surrounded by so much love and admiration for who I was. Going back to India healed me after that experience in high school.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And one of the things she realized was that she shouldn\u2019t conform to anyone\u2019s definition of who she\u2019s meant to be. What really stood out to us reading this interview was the moment when she stressed:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn America, I was trying not to be different. Right? I was trying to fit in and I wanted to be invisible. When I went to India, I chose to be different.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wow. Those are such amazing words to live by.<\/p>\n

Despite her challenging road in the US, Priyanka\u2019s decision to return to India, and to be HERSELF, ended up leading her to many different opportunities. She began acting on the stage, where all of her friends and peers constantly pointed out how talented she was, which then led to her eventual success in Bollywood. She\u2019s now worked internationally and in Hollywood and has a marriage to Nick Jonas<\/strong> that so many people envy.<\/p>\n

We guess the moral of the story here is: sometimes we have to deal with the darkness to recognize our own internal power.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re so grateful to Priyanka for opening up about her struggles, and we\u2019re SO stoked to read her new memoir, which releases on February 9!<\/p>\n
