MUMBAI: Global star Priyanka Chopra says stepping into Born Hungry as a producer brought back memories of her own life lived between continents, even though her path was nowhere near the turmoil faced by celebrity chef Sash Simpson.
As someone who has lived between two cultures, did she find parallels between Sash's story and her own journey of navigating identity across continents, Priyanka found “familiar echoes” in the way Sash tries to make sense of his identity while moving through different cultures.
However, she pointed out that Sash’s childhood wounds were deeper than anything she ever experienced.
Priyanka exclusively told IANS: “Definitely. I mean, I didn't have the struggles that Sash had as a child. That's incomprehensible to me.”
The actress, who has backed the documentary, which is backed by Priyanka through her banner Purple Pebble Pictures in collaboration with filmmaker Barry Avrich’s Melbar Entertainment Group, recalled the many children she has met through her work who remain trapped in circumstances that never change.
