Inside Priyanka’s BTS Language Training

The BTS video opened with Priyanka rehearsing her Telugu speech for the live event in Varanasi. Masked up and meticulously jotting down notes, the actress was seen going over every word with precision- determined to get the pronunciation just right.

Despite her global star confidence, Priyanka wasn’t shy about showing her vulnerable side.

At one moment, she admitted, “it’s more difficult to speak Telugu in front of a live audience than in a movie.” 

This candid confession struck an emotional chord with fans, further highlighting her commitment to embracing the language for her role.

The Desi Girl's openness on the subject isn’t new. Earlier, during an AMA on X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked how she was tackling the challenge of acting in a language unfamiliar to her.

She responded with honesty and optimism: “It’s obviously not my first language but Rajamouli sir has been so helpful. I will be able to deliver my Telugu lines and live up to your expectations.”
