The renowned Indian actress, Priyanka Chopra, confessed something more about the racial bullying that she had to experience during the gymnasium. Finally, in an interview for the Associated Press, the 36-year-old said that in high school, peers treated differently simply and only from skin color.
"They were different to me because I had darker skin. "
Chopra admitted that then, all this influenced her self-esteem.
"I have been very racist with me. They called me "Brownie", "Curry" or told me to "go back to the elephants out of the line", which greatly lowered the way I saw and appreciated myself. "
Priyanka, UNICEF ambassador, also added that racism comes as a by-product of how we treat people who bring another culture.
"The more we talk about all of this and open people's eyes by saying: It should not be so, I believe that society will change [for good]."
It is very important for him to avoid these behaviors as he does not want a young person to live what she once experienced.
"I will not allow anyone to feel that way anymore. I want to create a world where my children do not think about diversity and not talk about it as it is something quite normal. "
We remind you that last year, the actress married Nick Jonas, a ceremony that kept her traditions.
