Penguin Random House India is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of Unfinished​ ​by Priyanka Chopra


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 Michael Joseph, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK.

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

UK and Commonwealth (including India) rights were acquired at auction from Siobhan O’Neill and Fiona Baird, on behalf of Mel Berger, of William Morris Endeavor.

Unfinished will be published in 2019.

Priyanka Chopra visits the Rohingya Refugee camps


It was only last year that UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra visited Jordan to meet with Syrian families, whose lives have been greatly affected by the conflict in the area. 

The international star today landed in Dhaka,Bangladesh after attending the royal wedding in London to visit the Rohingya Refugee camps.

Since 25 August 2017, extreme violence in Rakhine State, Myanmar, has driven an estimated 693,000 Rohingya refugees across the border into Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The people and Government of Bangladesh welcomed them with resounding generosity and open borders. 

As part of an initiative by UNICEF , Priyanka makes a four-day field visit to the Rohingya Refugee Camps as part of the Child Alert campaign. As part of a series highlighting the challenges faced by children in current crisis situations, this UNICEF Child Alert focuses on the situation of Rohingya refugee children and their families now suffering harsh conditions in camps in southern Bangladesh after fleeing violence in Myanmar. 

The global icon is living out of her suitcase as she flew to London from New York to attend her friend Meghan Markle's wedding to British Royal Prince Harry. She immediately flew out the next day to Bangladesh to visit the Rohingya Refugee camps,where she will spend the next 4 days interacting with the families there.

Priyanka Chopra records an emotional number 'Baba' for Ventilator

Priyanka Chopra’s fans have a reason to rejoice! India's first truly global superstar has recorded a promotional track in Marathi for her debut Marathi venture ‘Ventilator’ produced by her production house, Purple Pebble Pictures, written and directed by Rajesh Mapuskar and presented by Zee Studios.
Besides singing the soul-stirring number Baba, dedicated to her late father Dr Ashok Chopra, the international icon will also feature in the promotional track which was shot in New York recently where she's currently shooting Quantico 2. Director Rajesh Mapuskar, along with the team of the family entertainer, flew to New York to shoot the video, conceptualized and directed by Ms Maheep Dhillon with an American crew.
Priyanka says, “From the minute, I heard the song ‘Baba’, I loved it. It’s so powerful and moving...capturing the relationship between a father and his son. When the music directors Rohan and Rohan suggested that I sing a female version of this, I was apprehensive and torn between my love for the song and nervousness of singing it in Marathi. But I’m so glad I did finally sing it because it was a fun, enriching, terrifying, and amazing experience for me and I can’t wait to do it all over again! I hope I’ve been able to do justice to this beautiful song… forgive me if there are any mistakes… I sang it with all my heart."
Ventilator is a fun family fiesta featuring a sterling ensemble cast including veteran Marathi film and theatre actors, and the promotional track will stay true to its theme. Rajesh strongly believes that Priyanka’s debut Marathi song, Baba will be one of the major highlights of Ventilator.
"When music composers Rohan Rohan came to me with a very simple, warm composition - Baba - I never thought it would travel across continents to get completed. It's recorded in the ultimate city of the US, New York. Thank you Priyanka for your initiative to make the Baba song sound so wonderful,” adds Rajesh Mapuskar.
Produced by Purple Pebble Pictures and presented by Zee Studios and directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, Ventilator is scheduled to release on November 4, 2016.
