Before landing the lead role in Naagin 7, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary spoke about facing body shaming and rejections in her career. In an interview with ETimes, she revealed that she was body-shamed for being underweight, even while she was in the Bigg Boss house. She admitted that the constant shaming affected her confidence initially, making her feel awkward in social situations. She also shared that when she was working as an anchor, people would pass comments on her figure, calling her "bacchi". However, Choudhary has developed a thick skin and no longer lets such comments affect her.
Choudhary also discussed facing rejections early in her career. She used to audition for many roles but would not get a response. Over time, she realized that she was not a mature actor and needed to work on herself. Despite the setbacks, she maintained a positive attitude and viewed rejections as a learning experience.
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's journey in the entertainment industry began with anchoring jobs in Jaipur. She later got an opportunity to act in a German movie, which sparked her passion for acting. She gained recognition for her role as Tejo in Udaariyaan, but it was her participation in Bigg Boss 16 that made her a household name.
