"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."

This is the remarkably honest and inspiring story of Priyanka's life.
From her childhood in India, 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 to boarding school at an early age.
Through her formative teenage years in the U.S. living with extended family in the Midwest, 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 that launched her acting career.
With a glimpse into what it takes to succeed in the Indian film industry, to an honest account of the challenges Priyanka faced navigating her career both in India and Hollywood, Unfinished is warm, funny, sassy, inspiring, bold, and rebellious. Just like Priyanka herself.
Most of all, from her 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.
