I was called ‘browny’ in US school: Priyanka Chopra

Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who went to high school for a few years in Boston, said she faced racial issues there as some fellow students called her “browny” and pointed a finger at her for being an Indian.

In an inspiring speech at the India Today Mind Rocks Youth Summit Friday evening, the 30-year-old actress took a crowd of hundreds of students through her life’s journey from being “gawky kid” to a Bollywood star.
