Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra admits she’s bored of being asked about “catfights” with her female co-stars.

The 37-year-old star - who is married to pop singer Nick Jonas - thinks female stars are often unfairly pitted against each other, unlike their male counterparts.

She says: “People always ask me, ‘You’re doing a movie with a female actor. Did you guys get along? Were there catfights?’ But when it comes to boys, they say, ‘Oh, my gosh. That’s a bromance, and everyone works so well.’”

The Quantico star says a lack of opportunities for female performers is to blame.

“I feel like, over time, because women had the lack of opportunities, we were pitted against each other.

“Because there were only five places a woman could be hired and so we were elbowing each other out to get to that one spot.

“The more opportunities we create for each other, the more sisterhood will grow.

“We’re 50 percent of the world population, we need to be represented in every field.

“We need to be empowered by each other, by people who are in positions of power, by putting [women] in positions of power.”

Meanwhile, Priyanka recently confessed she didn’t see marriage as a priority before she met Nick.

The Indian actress put her career before anything else.

That was until she came face-to-face with the hunky singer.

Priyanka - who married Nick in 2018 - said: “I made choices in my life when my career mattered the most to me and I didn’t find the right guy.

“I had to make sure that that pressure isn’t the end-all and be-all.”
