Priyanka Chopra has been bagging all the appreciation for her role of Victoria Leeds in Baywatch, recently in an interview, she said, "There are huge stereotypes about India, about Hindi films. There is a lot more awareness now that Hindi movies are such a big industry but the stereotypes still exist. Those are stereotypes you have to fight all the time and I guess it will only come with educating people and having them see Indian actors in mainstream parts, (to make them aware) that we can do this. There is no putting us in a box. But it is going to be a struggle. There is so few of us."

She added too, "I think they get an understanding that Hindi films are not just about breaking into random song and dance. I believe that in the business where there is demand, there will always be supply. Even audiences and people who watch and consume entertainment need to be open to seeing all kinds of people in iconic parts and not just a certain kind of actors or people who look a certain way."

She also expressed her desire to see a woman play James Bond, says PeeCee, "I would love to see a woman play James Bond or see an Indian actor in a superhero movie without the tag of being an Indian and just being an actor'. That is when it will become mainstream. And not just (from India) but Indian actors from around the world should be a part of global entertainment because that is what the world looks like. We are one-fifth of the world's population, there should be more representation."

Also she admits, "You never know. I am in conversation for a couple of films here and a couple in India. I don't know if it will be a villain or not but I always look for doing variety in the parts that I choose and I hope that is what I can do."
