Fashion designer Anju Modi recalls Priyanka Chopra’s ‘dedication’, discipline

Fashion designer Anju Modi shared a story about Priyanka Chopra's dedication and discipline during the filming of Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. Priyanka had to wear a costume with a handwritten Gayatri Mantra on her waist for a song, Ram Chahe Leela, which required her to remain still for hours without any movement. The designer recalled that Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the director, was a purist and insisted Priyanka not move, laugh, or speak during the process. This level of dedication is difficult to overlook, which is why Priyanka has achieved her success.

Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh explained that discipline is about staying true to one's values and goals, even when enthusiasm wanes or the work is repetitive. The path to success involves consistent effort and self-leadership, not just natural talent. Building discipline means making small commitments and following through on them, which gradually fosters self-trust and self-belief.

Some practical ways to develop discipline include setting smaller, non-negotiable goals, reducing dependence on mood, creating systems to support important behaviors, measuring consistency over intensity, and incorporating recovery time for the mind. Discipline is a crucial component of self-leadership and success, often hidden behind the visible achievements.
