Anil Sharma reveals Priyanka Chopra wanted to return to Bareilly after her botched nose surgery: ‘She came to return the signing amount’

Priyanka chopra is a global star now and the actress has come a long way but did you know that she was in depression after her nose surgery went wrong. The actress underwent a surgery in order to remove a polyp from her nasal cavity but the doctor accidently shaved the bridge of her nose. Thus, it altered the shape of her nose. It was just the beginning of her career and the actress lost out on a lot of offers. She was signed for ‘Hero’ starring Sunny DeolPreity Zinta, directed by Anil Sharma. In a recent interview, the ‘Bridge 2‘ director has revealed how Priyanka was about to return to Bareily after the surgery went wrong.
Sharma spoke about it in an interview with Vickey Lalwani, “She came with the cheque. She said she has been fired and now she is moving back to Bareilly. They said they were waiting to give my money back. I said you keep the money and I scolded her a bit. She then told me what actually happened with her nose.”
That’s when the director convinced her to stay. It was a signing amount of Rs 5 lakh as Sharma also revealed that in an earlier interview with Siddharth Kannan. Thus, Priyanka was ready to move back to Bareily as her father who was in the army was stationed there.
However, Sharma doesn’t believe he has any role to play in her success. “I don’t have any hand in her success. She is successful because she is very talented and when you are this good, God sometimes brings people in your life who give you a push. And I think I can be one of those people,” he said.
Further opening up on his bonding with Priyanka, Anil added, “She has stayed in touch with me. If she sees me in a crowd of 100 people, she comes to meet me. We have a good relationship. I also shared a good bond with her late father.”
