A thoughtful and revealing memoir from one of the world's most recognizable women, renowned for her bold risk-taking, multiculturalism, and activism.
"I am a product of traditional India and its ancient wisdom, and modern India and its urban bustle. My upbringing was always an amalgamation of the two Indias, and, just as much, of East and West." Unfinished takes readers from Priyanka's childhood in India, where she was raised by her grandparents and her parents-two army doctors committed not only to their children but to their careers and to philanthropy-before being sent away to boarding school at an early age; through her formative teenage years in the U.S. living with extended family in the Midwest (Cedar Rapids and Indianapolis), Queens, and suburban Boston, where she endured bouts of racism; to her return to India, where she unexpectedly won the national and global beauty pageants (Miss India and Miss World) that launched her acting career. Readers looking for a glimpse into what it takes to succeed in the massive Indian film industry will find it here, and they'll also find an honest account of the challenges Priyanka faced navigating her career, both in India and Hollywood. The result is a book that is warm, funny, sassy, inspiring, bold, and rebellious. Just like Priyanka herself.
From her dual-continent twenty-year-long career as an actor and producer to her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, from losing her beloved father to cancer to marrying Nick Jonas, Priyanka Chopra Jonas's story will inspire a generation around the world to gather their courage, embrace their ambition, and commit to the hard work of following their dreams.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas is the ultimate overachiever. She didn’t stop with being crowned Miss World at age 18. She made a name for herself in Bollywood, diversified into the music industry releasing hit singles. Next, she conquered Hollywood, then turned producer, entrepreneur, writer, humanitarian, and tied the knot with heartthrob Nick Jonas in the middle of all that. Many of her other achievements here. The best memoirs delve into the author’s deepest psyche and we get to see them at their most vulnerable. They reveal their innermost demons, the darkest adversities they faced and how they overcame them or not. Their painful struggles make their journey more compelling and hence their stories become inspirational. But struggle was not a big part of Priyanka’s life. It would be easy to say that she had a privileged life. She came from an affluent and loving family. That being said, not all privileged people reach great heights. So we have to give credit when credit is due and acknowledge her hard work. Nonetheless, there is always something we can learn from another person’s story and Priyanka is no exception to the rule. Her unshakeable confidence and insatiable hunger for success will take her far. Her journey is definitely unfinished!

Unfinished gives the reader a brief story of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s life and how she became the successful independent woman she is today. I’ve been a fan of Priyanka since watching the premiere of Quantico. I didn’t know much about her life before acting in the US besides that she was an actress in India.
This book is a brief story of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s life and how she became the successful independent woman she is today. An amazing memoir and inspiring.
Worth the read. It was great getting an insight into Priyanka’s life. Nick Jonas is truly an angel, their love story is everything.
