Pinyaka Chopra's Memoir "Unfinished"

In her recently released memoir titled "Unfinished," the 38-year-old actress shared that she went under the knife to address her breathing problem as she sought help from an expert who was recommended by a family friend.

At the time, the doctor discovered a polyp in her nasal cavity and advised her to have it surgically removed. Back then, the rising Bollywood star thought it was just an ordinary procedure.

"Fortunately, a polypectomy sounded like a pretty routine procedure. Unfortunately, it wasn't," she wrote, as obtained by People.

Getting Over Her Terrifying Ordeal

Although Chopra Jonas felt obligated to explain her side, she chose to "draw a line" and keep things to herself.

In her memoir, the "Baywatch" star cited that as an entertainer, this is what she signed up for and just had to suck it up and move on with her life.

The terrifying experience has pushed her to do her best and prove to the people that she is more than what they think.

"I will say my lines, dance my dance, hit my mark. I'll do my best to make you laugh, and I'll do my best to make you cry, but just because I'm a public person doesn't mean everything about my life has to be public knowledge. I get to choose what I share and when I share it," she wrote.

Despite her struggles, she now feels better and has gotten accustomed to her face.

She mentioned that she no longer feels surprised seeing herself in the mirror and has "made peace" with her past.
