Priyanka Chopra Jonas: A Producer with a Purpose

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is always seeking new challenges, and as a producer, she aims to support narratives that resonate with her on a personal level. This motivation led her to produce the documentary 'Born Hungry,' which focuses on the life of celebrity chef Sash Simpson. Currently available for streaming on JioHotstar, the film chronicles Simpson's journey from being abandoned in India as a child to his adoption in Canada and eventual rise to fame as a celebrated chef.

The documentary is a collaboration between Priyanka's production company, Purple Pebble Pictures, and Barry Avrich's Melbar Entertainment Group. Priyanka expressed her emotional connection to Sash Simpson's journey, stating, “As both an actor and a producer, I wear different hats. My mindset shifts between the two roles. As an actor, I strive to push my boundaries, while as a producer, I focus on empathy. Our mission revolves around providing opportunities to emerging filmmakers or those facing obstacles in their careers. My production choices are deeply influenced by what resonates with me personally.”
