On top of that, they try hard to win the hearts of critics. For newcomers, things are even harder — they must prove themselves quickly, and getting a second chance is not easy.

Some of her well-known movies include Desi Boyz (with Akshay Kumar and John Abraham), I Me Aur Main, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3, Bazaar, and Khel Khel Mein. Her roles were noticed, and she slowly made a space for herself in the film industry. Heads of State Behind the Scenes Story Shared by Priyanka Chopra.
The Controversy and Her Break from Films
At one point, Chitrangda almost left the film industry. This happened while she was working on Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, directed by Kushan Nandy.

She also said that actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who was on set, remained silent during the situation. However, the director denied the allegations and said that Chitrangda had issues with the script.
