Priyanka was once told 'actresses are replaceable'

Priyanka Chopra might be having a handful of projects in the present, but when she looks down to the past, things were not so beautiful as she was approached with a 'take it or leave it' attitude during her early years in the industry.

Talking to a leading daily, the 33-year-old actress said, "When I was relatively new in the industry, I was in talks with a producer, who wanted to cast me in his film. But, due to some date issues, it didn't work out. He told me, that he will either cast someone else or will launch a new actor, because actresses are replaceable," reports the Express Tribune.

The 'Quantico' star added that this thing got stuck in her head and now she jokingly tells the same director that she is irreplaceable adding that she made a deliberate effort to become irreplaceable.

Priyanka also revealed that she is not insecure about her success as she never gets affected by the success or failure of anyone else. She believes that an actor is chosen on his or her merit and has always tried to compete with herself.

Presently, Priyanka is working on her American sitcom 'Quantico' and is also shooting for her Hollywood debut 'Baywatch.
