<\/a>Dance, Music is Part of Our Culture: Priyanka on Jimmy Kimmel<\/b><\/p>\n
Priyanka Chopra talked about the Indian culture and its special connection to dance and music during her appearance on \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old star said the reason Indian movies have so much of dancing and singing is because \u201cwe need an excuse to dance.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you ever go to an Indian family, their wedding or any occasion, it will always be a dance party. We need an excuse to dance. This is different kind of dancing, there\u2019s like craziness and drums and music. And I think, culturally that is reflected in the movies,\u201d Priyanka said.<\/p>\n
Though, the actress has been here for over a year since the second season of her popular American TV series \u201cQuantico\u201d was started, she said she would still call Mumbai, her home.<\/p>\n
\u201cI enjoy shooting in New York as it is really close from my home. There is just a 14 hours flight. It is a beautiful city and so picturesque. I work here, but I would like to say that I live in Mumbai.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked about how things work in Bollywood, the star said, \u201cThey do have union rules but it\u2019s really actor-driven, and I am a workaholic… Everybody works like that. They (the production houses) follow my lead, it\u2019s awesome. It\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, Priyanka had a concussion on the set of \u201cQuantico.\u201d She was given a day off after she fell and hit her head on the road while shooting.<\/p>\n
Talking about her injury that ended up making headlines everywhere, she said, \u201cI took one day off work, Friday. It was something so silly! I have done so many stunts before in my life, it was just a rainy day, we were running against time and we had to finish our day.\u201d<\/p>\n
To which Kimmel said, \u201cWas this a real doctor or a TV doctor? Is this like Grey\u2019s Anatomy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIn my head I was a part of Grey\u2019s Anatomy. Because I landed there and people took me in this wheel chair and I was seeing lights because I had to lie down and I was feeling like it was really Grey\u2019s Anatomy,\u201d Priyanka quipped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
