In the heartwarming romantic comedy Love Again, Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays Mira Ray, a character that is more vulnerable than the Hollywood roles she’s known for.
“Mira is a very gentle character,” says Chopra Jonas. “I’ve played some very tough characters, so I was looking forward to tapping into my vulnerable side, reaching into the deep places in the heart. I’m a Cancer and a massive romantic – I really do believe in love and goodness. As cheesy as it might sound, it makes the world go around.”

Priyanka also put analogous care to actually making sure that her character does n’t feel like a generality, which is doubly important because I ’m told that Love Again is the first global point with an Indian woman in the preeminent part. ”
