Priyanka Chopra is taking a stand against sexism in the film industry.

In an interview with Modern Luxury magazine this month, the 34-year-old actress reveals she was once replaced from a film because her schedule didn't match up with the leading actor's.

'[Once], a producer told my manager that if I couldn’t adjust dates according to the male actors, then I would be replaced because women are replaceable in films when there’s a big male actor,' she told the publication.

'I was replaced, and it felt terrible… Instances like that made me think about how I could be irreplaceable. What could I do to make myself strong enough [that] no one would have the audacity to say that to me or do that to me again?'

The Indian-born beauty graces the covers of six Modern Luxury magazines this month, all in vastly different looks.

On the cover of Miami, she wears a low-cut black dress, embellished with textured parrots at the waist.

For Angeleno, the upcoming Baywatch can be seen wearing a gypsy style yellow off-the-shoulder top.

'I want as many kids as I can have. I want a family. I want the smell of pancakes or dosas on Sunday mornings. I feel like it has to happen when it happens,' she added.
