Priyanka Chopra says she cried after told she was not 'sample size' in fitting

Priyanka Chopra burst into tears after being told she's not "sample sized".

The actress made the revelation during a conversation with Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas on Friday (March 10) by explaining she arrived at the event feeling "c*****" because someone had scolded her about her body shape the day before.

During the talk at the Austin Convention Center, she told the audience: "I've been told many things that are difficult to hear. I arrive feeling c***** because somebody told me yesterday I wasn't 'sample sized.'

"I was hurt and I discussed it with my family and I cried to my husband and my team and I felt really bad about the fact I'm not sample-sized and that that's a problem, apparently. Most of us are not. 'Sample-sized' is a size two."

She then asked the audience for a show of hands, saying: "Who's a size two?…I don't see a lot of hands.""

During the talk, Priyanka also spoke about her new Amazon Prime Video series 'Citadel' in which she appears opposite Game of Thrones star Richard Madden — and revealed it was the first time in the career she was paid the same as the other lead actor.

She said: "I've been working in the entertainment industry for now 22 years, and I have done about almost 70-plus features and two TV shows. But when I did Citadel, it was the first time in my career that I had pay parity.

"I'm laughing about this, but it's kind of nuts. I put in the same amount of investment and work, but I get paid much less. But the ease in which Amazon Studios said: 'That's what you deserve, you are co-leads, that's just fair,' and I was like: 'You're right, it's fair'."
