Bollywood actress Shenaz Treasurywala, who has been a part of many films in the past, says that she has been doing American shows and films for several years, even before Priyanka Chopra.

While talking to Indo-Asian News Service (IANS), the actress said she has had played small roles in many Hollywood shows but has no publicity machine working around her. She is currently a part of the popular Netflix show – Brown Nation.

"I've not been in India for the past seven years. I've been working in American shows and films. I currently even have one on Netflix. It's called 'Brown Nation'. I started doing American films and TV before Priyanka, but of course I do small roles in big films and I don't have the publicity machine working around me. I have been working in Brown Nation, Nightly Show, One Life To Live, Gentlemen, The Big Sick," she added.

In Bollywood, Shenaz will next be seen in Tiger Shroff starrer Munna Micheal. She had earlier played small roles in Ishq Vishk, Hum Tum, Luv Ka The End, Delhi Belly, Main Aur Mr. Riight among others.

Shenaz's strong statement does make us wonder if she took a sly dig at Priyanka, who recently wrapped up the second season of Hollywood TV show, Quantico, and is gearing up for the release of her Hollywood film Baywatch.  

But we would like to point out here Shenaz that unlike you, the former Miss World was (and still is) a top Bollywood actress - with massive fan following - even before she ventured into Hollywood. Hence, the noise that her projects in the West make is justified.
