Priyanka Chopra couldn’t be less bothered about the bad reviews that are piling up for her Hollywood debut film Baywatch. She is taking dips in cosy pools and having a great time by herself.
The actor posted a picture of herself on Instagram where she is seen in a blue bikini, relaxing in the frothy waters of a pool (or a gigantic jacuzzi) at night.
“...because without a stubborn refusal to accept the limitations of your current story.. you’ll never break through..,” she wrote as the caption.
Priyanka’s Baywatch is getting heavily panned by critics for its immature content and bad performances. However, most reviewers have appreciated Priyanka’s work and written that she was underused in the film.
The Guardian’s Steve Rose found that she was used only to show off her skin. “Even Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra, the underused villain of the piece, looks like she was contractually obliged to show as much flesh as permissible”. Birth.Movies.Death’s Jacob Knight had similar sentiments: “the Indian goddess brings a (sadly underutilized) brainy charisma to every scene that feels fit for a better picture”. Radio Times’ Robert Luxford praised Priyanka some more. “Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra judges the mood perfectly, playing the villain with exactly the right amount of dramatic flair (“I’m not a Bond villain… yet” she teases during an interrogation),” he wrote.
