PHOTO: TWITTERHere are the 5 interesting revelations PeeCee made on the show:
1. Not a fan of uniform
"I came here when I was 12 years old and it was a whim, honestly. In India, when you go to school, you have to wear uniforms but here, you don't have to do that. So that's the reason," she said.
"Oh! That's a long commute for no uniform," Jimmy replied.
SCREENGRAB2. She stayed with her maternal aunt in the US
When asked who she lived with when she moved there, PeeCee said, "I stayed with my mom's sister. My mom's side of the family is here."
"You know Indians, right? We travel in packs," she boasted.
3. She faced a culture shock
As she moved from India, the actress said she "didn't know too many things." "It was a big culture shock. Every morning I spent two hours to figure out what I was supposed to wear," she added.
SCREENGRAB"The uniforms would have been so much better," she quipped.
4. She was supposed to be Mrs Tupac Shakur
PeeCee confessed on national television that she was supposed to be Mrs Tupac Shakur. She wore black and mourned for 20 days when he was shot. But she moved on to Dennis Rodman as a rebound crush.
She left the host in shock, but defended her choice saying, "It was before the Wedding Dress and he was still with the Bulls. I loved what he did with his hair."
SCREENGRAB5. She is about to celebrate her golden jubilee
Priyanka revealed that she has been in almost 50 films. "Well 49 and a half, I am still filming one."
The actress is juggling between her Bollywood and Hollywood careers. Jimmy was curious to find out how she manages it, to which she said, "I go back (to India) and forth (to the US) all the time."
