Priyanka Chopra, a famous Indian actress and model, shared her experience of feeling out of place when she first came to the United States as a teenager.She revealed that she used to have her lunch in the bathroom as she was too nervous to go to the cafeteria and didn’t know how to get food.
She would quickly eat her food and go to class so that she wouldn’t have to interact with anyone.
Priyanka said that she felt more like a non-American than an Indian, and tried to fit in by changing a lot of her identity.
She also had to explain to her peers why she couldn’t date or go out at night due to her conservative family background.However, she eventually made friends and learned to navigate the high school environment by observing others.
In a recent interview, Priyanka revealed that she doesn’t believe in the concept of “faking it till you make it”, but instead believes in having a dialogue with oneself to hype oneself up to be what they need to be.This helped her navigate some tough situations as a teenager in the US.
Priyanka’s experience highlights the challenges that many teenagers face when moving to a new country, and how it can be difficult to adapt to a new environment.However, with perseverance and observation, it is possible to overcome these challenges and find one’s place in a new community.
