Sweta Keswani, an actress with over a decade of experience in the US, voiced her thoughts on Priyanka Chopra, stating that the latter is mainly focused on her own success rather than uplifting other South Asians. In an interview, she contrasted Chopra’s achievements with those of Mindy Kaling, emphasizing the latter’s contributions to the community.
Keswani expressed her admiration for Chopra’s achievements while claiming that they haven’t translated into support for the broader South Asian community. She stated, “While I recognize Priyanka’s incredible accomplishments, she is not doing for South Asians what Mindy Kaling does. Kaling is actively involved in writing, producing, and providing opportunities for South Asians in the industry.”
Additionally, she mentioned the dynamics of industry cliques, indicating that she sometimes feels excluded from the South Asian circles in Hollywood.
Sweta is well-regarded for her roles in popular Indian shows like “Baa Bahu Aur Baby,” “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki,” and “Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand.” Her international portfolio includes projects such as “New Amsterdam,” “The Blacklist,” and “Law & Order SVU,” where she is set to appear in an upcoming episode.
Priyanka Chopra launched her Hollywood career with “Quantico,” followed by parts in “Baywatch” and “The Matrix Resurrections.” Most recently, she took on leading roles in “Citadel” and the upcoming film “Heads of State.”
Fans eagerly await her performances in the second season of “Citadel” and in a historical pirate film titled “The Bluff,” where she shares the screen with Karl Urban.
