When our talent has won awards at Oscars, it has been for films not made by India, reveals Priyanka Chopra!

When in Mumbai, Priyanka Chopra's schedule is packed with media interactions. Apart from working on her Hollywood projects, Priyanka is busy with her regional production ventures as well.

The actor was lately invited to be one of the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures of Arts and Science along with other stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan among others.

When questioned how she feels about this, Priyanka told, "I am grateful to the Academy for including such diverse amount of people from around the world. They ask us our opinions when we are the member of the Academy. My view and opinion is that it opens itself up to nominations for foreign language films outside of just one category."

Adding further, she told, "I hope that is something which happens because there are so many films which come from the world, even Indian films. When our talent has won awards, it has been for films not made by India, because the opportunities are less. I hope that is something that changes and I hope I can contribute to that."


The actor also spoke about widening the horizon and giving opportunities to those from North-east as she feels they are the most neglected section. She also added that she would want to also produce a Hindi film but only if a right script comes her way.
