Jameela Jamie says she is often mistaken as Priyanka Chopra; ‘ 'Honestly the honour of my life'

Jameela Jamie who is a Pakistani-origin British actor shared how often she is mistaken as Priyanka Chopra. She shared how she considered it the ‘honour of her life’. She even speaks about Mindy Kailing in a recent interview.

Jameela will soon star in ‘Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin’. The film will be released on the 23rd of November. The cast included Adam DeVine and Flula Borg. In the interview, Jameela said “I spent a lot of my youth trying to be invisible and not stand out. As I get older, I realise time is running out. We need to celebrate life as much as we can. So now, every day is a party. That, and the fact that I get mistaken for Priyanka Chopra all the time—honestly the honour of my life—but I also have to always represent her well out there on the streets". A year ago on Twitter a user wrote "Wait so did nickjonas and jameelajamil get divorced?". To which Jaamil wittily responded "A different Indian woman who doesn’t look anything like me. priyankachopra I believe they are very happy together still." Priyanka Chopra herself noticed her response and replied with a ‘LOL’.

In the same interview Jameela spoke about diversity and said, “First of all, we need to diversify the stories that are being told. I think thanks to people like Mindy [Kaling] and Priyanka [Chopra] and even me, I think that is happening. People are starting to see value in our stories. However, I would love to see more Indian sex symbols in worldwide movies. Our representation conversation now needs to go beyond just race or gender. We also need to think about disability as it’s a conversation that no one is ever having.”
