10 Actors Who Sound NOTHING Like You Would Imagine
7. Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka Chopra may be the most famous star in Bollywood but she's only recently broken through in Hollywood (and is set to become bigger than ever after she appears in the upcoming Matrix 4).
Despite being of Indian heritage, Chopra has showcased her flawless ability to put on an American accent in projects like Baywatch and Quantico. Although she speaks in an American accent in interviews in the west, she speaks in a Hindi accent when interviewed back in India. So which voice is her real accent?
Honestly, it's hard to say. Because her parents were military physicians, her family moved to seven different cities in India throughout her childhood, which stopped her accent from settling. When she moved to the US as a teenager, she found herself once again on the move. Transferring to Boston, Iowa, and New York in a short space of time caused her to merge multiple accents into one.
Because the former Miss World and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador speaks Hindi in Bollywood movies, her fans find it jarring when they hear her speak in her real voice. As a result, she adopts a Hindi accent when she's at home.
