When Priyanka Chopra responded to Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Hollywood is boring’ remark: ‘Comfortable is boring to me’

Priyanka Chopra once made headlines, not for a role or a red carpet appearance, but for her fiery response to Shah Rukh Khan’s past remark on choosing comfort over Hollywood. In a resurfaced video, Priyanka Chopra took a stand for her journey and delivered what many online are calling a “savage” comeback.

While promoting her spy-thriller series Citadel earlier, Priyanka was asked about SRK’s quote: “Why should I go there (Hollywood)? I am comfortable here.” Without naming him directly, Priyanka’s reply was sharp yet composed.

“Comfortable is boring to me,” she said back then. “I am not arrogant, I am self-assured. I know what I am doing when I walk onto a set. I don’t need the validation of executives. I am willing to take auditions, I am willing to work. I do not carry the baggage of my success in one country when I walk into another country.”

This quote has gone viral, as fans interpret it as a pointed but elegant clapback to SRK’s earlier stance, especially given their shared history on and off-screen. The two were romantically linked during the filming of Don 2, though neither has ever publicly confirmed or denied the rumours.
