Priyanka Chopra may be one of the biggest and most successful Indian stars, but the actor says failures still scare her. The 36-year-old actor, who forayed into the West with ABC thriller Quantico, said she feels "miserable" when she faces a setback in any aspect of her life. "My biggest fear is failure. I hate failures. I am miserable when I fail. My mom tells everyone, 'Let her be alone for while', whenever I fail. But because I am so afraid of failing that developed a way of not being nervous," Priyanka said.

The actor believes the fact that women have always had lesser opportunities makes them worry a lot about their lives and in the quest to make the best of the options they have, they "tend to pull each other down". "When I entered the entertainment industry I came in through a beauty pageant. I was also thinking that only I should get the job. So I had to teach myself that I had to be the most confident of the lot. After spending three-four years in the industry I realised if I wear my confidence well I don't need to elbow anyone out."
