Priyanka Chopra has revealed the moment she fell in love with Nick Jonas and why she left Bollywood

Priyanka Chopra has spoken out about her time as a Bollywood star.

Chopra says she left Bollywood for Hollywood because she felt like she was being “pushed into a corner in the industry.”

It’s all in the latest episode of the Armchair Expert podcast.

The actress had a thriving career in India before coming to the U.S. but admits she became tired of the politics and needed a break.

That break came in the form of a music contract with Interscope Records in early 2010.

But, after working with artists like Pitbull and Will.i.Am, Chopra says she realised she was better suited to being an actor.

Then, following a spontaneous meeting with an ABC casting executive, Chopra found herself auditioning for the network’s new spy show, “Quantico.”

The actress, turned singer, turned actress again also opened up about her relationship and eventual marriage with fellow superstar, Nick Jonas.

In this special interview, the Earth.io CEO discusses the critical role of soil carbon in tackling climate change and her mission to reshape the future of sustainable business.

Samantha Jewell, founder and CEO of Urth.io, is on a mission to change the way businesses think about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, particularly in the area of soil carbon stewardship.

In a recent on Ticker News, Jewell underscored the importance of reducing carbon emissions and the critical role businesses can play in addressing climate change.

One key focus of Urth.io is supporting farmers in creating carbon offsets through responsible soil management.

“Soil carbon is one of the most underappreciated tools we have to combat climate change,” Jewell explained.

However, she acknowledges the challenges, particularly the complexity of regulations and the need to shift mindsets among both farmers and buyers.

Revealing book

Jewell’s book, *Carbon is Not a Dirty Word*, serves as a practical guide for businesses and individuals looking to implement sustainable practices.

“The book is about making sustainability accessible, whether you’re a business leader or a farmer,” she said.

As ESG becomes a central concern for many industries, Jewell believes that education and a commitment to long-term change are essential.
