Priyanka Chopra recently spoke about how she was once pushed away in Bollywood, and an old interview of Aishwarya Rai has resurfaced where she talked about being rejected for five films at once. In the interview, Rai said that there were a couple of films that were supposed to happen with her, but suddenly they weren't happening without any reason given. She expressed feeling taken aback, confused, and hurt by the situation, and wondering about what she had heard about situations and people having a domino effect on projects. Rai said that it became apparent to her that it could happen to her too, despite her apparent box office success or secure positioning in the industry. The resurfaced interview highlights the challenges and uncertainties that actors in the film industry can face, even those with established careers.
