She explained that the move towards international projects was driven by a need for work that felt more exciting and creatively challenging, rather than a desire to leave Bollywood behind. She said she \u201cnever wanted to leave Bollywood\u201d but felt \u201climited for many reasons\u201d and gradually found herself seeking opportunities abroad that allowed her to grow as an artist.<\/p>\n<p>Chopra described how taking on English\u2011language projects opened up a new creative landscape, but emphasised that her connection to Indian cinema remains strong. She expressed her enthusiasm about returning to shoot in India, saying she enjoys working across both industries and sees them as distinct cultural spaces she is proud to navigate.
