Over the years and numerous movies, Priyanka Chopra<\/a> Jonas has established herself as a versatile performer, effortlessly balancing action, dance, and emotionally demanding roles. A National Film Award winner, she is now known for her command across genres, but she admits that wasn\u2019t always the case.\n<\/p>\n In a recent interview, Priyanka revealed that she struggled with dancing in the early days of her career. She described herself as being \u2018dreadful\u2019 at it, recalling how challenging it was to keep up with choreography on set. The experience was tough enough that a choreographer even yelled at her during a shoot, highlighting just how far she has come since those initial hurdles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In a recent conversation with Vogue Arabia, Priyanka Chopra Jonas looked back at the struggles she faced at the start of her career in Bollywood.<\/p>\n \u201cI was a dreadful dancer when I first started. I was not able to act and nail the choreography at the same time, plus coordinate with my co-star. It was just too many things for my 19- or 20-year-old brain,\u201d she recalled, describing how overwhelming the process felt in her early years.<\/p>\n She also shared a particularly difficult moment while working with veteran choreographer Raju Khan during a shoot in South Africa. \u201cI was filming with Raju Khan in South Africa and missing my marks. He got so upset with me that he threw the mic down, saying, \u2018You might come from a pageant, but learn how to dance before you become an actress.\u2019 He just walked away, and I was so embarrassed,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Despite that tense experience, Priyanka noted that time has changed things, and she and Raju Khan are now \u2018great friends,\u2019 reflecting how far she has come both personally and professionally.<\/p>\n Priyanka Chopra Jonas shared that she was determined to overcome her early struggles with dance and actively worked on improving her skills. To do so, she began training rigorously, often practising for nearly six hours a day, with Katrina Kaif<\/a>. At the time, Katrina was also a rising star in Bollywood but had already built a strong reputation for her dancing abilities.\n<\/p>\n Through consistent effort and discipline, Priyanka gradually transformed her image. From once calling herself a \u2018dreadful dancer,\u2019 she went on to deliver some of Bollywood\u2019s most memorable dance performances, including Desi Girl and Ram Chahe Leela.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nWhen A Choreographer Yelled at Priyanka Chopra for Being \u2018Dreadful\u2019<\/h2>\n
