Unfinished is a collection of personal essays,
stories, and observations by actress, producer, activist and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador,
Priyanka Chopra. The book will be published simultaneously in the US by
Ballantine Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House US, and in the UK by

Priyanka Chopra is a multifaceted personality
whose foray into the entertainment industry began at the age of 17 when she won
Miss India and went on to win Miss World the following year, a title that
catapulted her to international stardom. Priyanka earned popular and critical
acclaim over three seasons as Alex Parrish on ABC’s show Quantico, making
history as the first Indian actor to star as the lead of a TV drama series, and
winning two consecutive People’s Choice Awards for the role, again making
history as the first Indian actress to win the award. In April 2016 she was
featured on the cover of TIME magazine’s coveted TIME 100 issue, as one of the
Most Influential People in the world, and in November 2017 was named to Forbes
illustrious list of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women.
Additionally, Priyanka produces global TV and film
content under her banner Purple Pebble Pictures. With more than 80 million
social media followers, Priyanka is also committed to using her reach for good.
Priyanka is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, a United Nations Foundation Girl Up
Champion, and is involved in a number of efforts to protect children’s rights
and promote the education of girls, including her namesake charity The Priyanka
Chopra Foundation for Health and Education.
‘The flavor of the book will be honest, funny,
spirited, bold, and rebellious, just like me. I have always been a private
person; I’ve never spoken about my feelings during my journey but I am ready to
do so now. I was raised to be fearless when it came to opinions, and I would
like to tell my story in the hopes of inspiring people--especially women--to
change the conversation, to shatter glass ceilings. Women are always told we
can’t have everything. I want everything, and I believe anyone else can have it
too. I’m proof of it.’ – Priyanka Chopra
‘Unfinished
by Priyanka Chopra is not just a memoir but a manifesto for women who believe
that they can’t just have it all but that they deserve it all. Priyanka is one
of the most influential women in the world, and it is not a badge she wears lightly.
I love how unapologetic she is about her success and her ambition. There’s
something about the Priyanka Chopra phenomenon that feels both revolutionary
and accessible, and that’s entirely a result of the person that she is.’ –
Manasi Subramaniam, Senior Commissioning Editor, Penguin Random House India
‘I met Priyanka Chopra for the first time when she
delivered the Penguin Annual Lecture in New Delhi in 2017, and was amazed at
the way people in the audience, and especially young women, responded to her
words, her provocation and her rallying cry. At Penguin Random House India, we
are committed to publishing strong female role models, and are immensely proud
of having Priyanka Chopra on that list.’ – Meru Gokhale, Editor-in-Chief,
Literary Publishing, Penguin Random House India
