Priyanka Chopra Jonas has just announced the release of her memoir titled ‘Unfinished’ on 19th January, 2021, and speaks of what drives her.
Actor- Producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas has been a prominent personality for almost 20 years. From being crowned Miss World in the year 2000 to becoming a global icon, she has remained a popular and adored personality.
Despite being in the film industry for such a long time, rarely has she opened up about her personal life and challenges in any way or form. But, now she is ready to tell her story.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is ready to release her memoir –‘ Unfinished’ on 19th January, 2021.
Many of us wonder why Priyanka named her memoir – ‘Unfinished’. She revealed that she named her memoir years before she started writing it.
“Having been a public person for 20 years, with so much life to live and a long list of things to check off my list personally and professionally, I am very much Unfinished.” She wrote in an Instagram post. She also added that Unfinished had a greater meaning for her and has been one of the most common threads of her life.
Opening up about what her parents taught her and the challenges she faced, Priyanka wrote that she has always been guided by her curiosity, drive for challenge, and intrinsic need to constantly evolve and move forward.
She added, “I have taken many leaps of faith, oftentimes when I was advised not to…and even when I too was afraid.”
She also added that she never shielded away from change, or forced guilt on leaving something unfinished, if that’s what her evolution as an individual required.
Talking about her memoir, Priyanka says that the readers will learn how she “became me during the ‘in between’ of what you haven’t seen” She also hopes that the memoir helps readers “understand the resilience and grace under fire that is needed to chase their dreams.”
She hopes that the readers will walk away with confidence of knowing that it’s OK to pick up, walk away, leave things unfinished , and move on to what’s next if that’s what your journey requires to get to the next destination.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas has been an inspiration to many young girls across cities and towns who dare to dream big, and for many others who are trying to find a place for themselves in this world. Through her honest account of the challenges she faced in ‘Unfinished’, it is a hope that Priyanka continues to inspire many.

I was so engrossed in looking after my daughter, being both a mom and dad for her, that I myself no longer existed...
Being a single mother, my world revolves around my daughter.
Whatever people may say, the bond that exists between us is very different from a regular mother-daughter relationship. Navya, my daughter is the reason I am alive today.
This statement may sound cliched, but that is the biggest truth of my life. She is the reason I stopped myself from jumping off a local train years ago. The fact that she was growing inside me, that tiny speck of tissue in my uterus, had the strength to twine around my legs and hold me inside the train.
Alia Bhatt is pregnant and happy about it - it's not our job to accuse her of 'trapping' her partner into marriage or shaming her for the timing of it.
When Alia Bhatt announced that she and her partner, Ranbir Kapoor, were expecting a baby, all I could feel was joy. As a person who has been in awe of Bhatt’s acting skills and dedication, this news genuinely made my day.
However, the joy was soon replaced by anger and frustration when I read the first few comments (from certain unverified Instagram handles) on her pregnancy post. Here are the exact words of those who felt it was okay to question a woman’s choice:
