frontier of content and I’m diving right in!
It’s a super exciting world in which I find myself equally fascinated
with and immersed in completely. The thought behind ‘It’s My City’ is
progressive… to go where the young audience has moved towards… to connect with
them in a style that they can identify with and for me personally, to engage
with them in a whole new way. I’m
excited to be embarking on this journey with such amazing partners… nexGTV who
not only have created a robust platform for mobile entertainment but have also
made a firm commitment to creating and delivering quality, original content.
I’m thankful to Fluence and Endemol-Shine India for being such a formidable
force and co-producers in our maiden digital venture. It’s time to just press ‘PLAY’!!!

an undisputed beacon of strength and a role model for countless young women
worldwide. As someone who has challenged and redefined the status quo numerous
times over the years, she epitomizes the young, Indian woman of today and is
therefore the perfect match! In associating with Priyanka for ‘It’s My City’
mobi-series, we have attempted to channel her own experiences as a young woman
wanting to create her own special identity in a city far from home”.

mentioned, “We are confident that our audience will find our first Original
series a must-watch, inspiring young women everywhere to face the world
confidently and on their own terms”.

differentiated digital experiences with India’s top talents. Priyanka Chopra is
one such amazing and versatile actor who has mesmerized fans across the globe,
she is also one of the most influential social media celebrities in India.
Creating this series with Priyanka for nexGTv is another step towards our
growing focus on digital content development. This collaboration will draw
audience subscriptions and views for the show and the platform via social media
by engaging Priyanka’s close to35 million fans and followers in a new and
highly compelling way”.
‘It’s My City’ will premiere as a
14-episode premium, original series that revolves around the everyday lives and
struggles of four young girls – Manika, Sonali, Tina and Nikki – living
together in the same flat in Mumbai.
Mirroring the reality of our everyday lives, the series captures the
highs and lows, trials and tribulations, ups and downs of these girls as they
set out to achieve their dreams and conquer the world. Captured in a light hearted fashion, this
sit-com, also offers a unique and real insight into the lives of Indian girls
staying away from their families in pursuit of their dreams…in the city of dreams…Mumbai!
It captures their struggles and successes with ambition, careers, faith,
friendship and romance. In her inimitable style, Priyanka Chopra appears in and
as herself assuming the mantle of an official landlady, unofficial guardian and
protective friend.
Adds Priyanka, “This is a
contemporary story featuring real stories and real conversations and
situations. There is a huge parallel
that can be drawn to my own reality…of a young girl coming to Mumbai to
literally make my dreams come true. I hope
the stories are something the audience will identify with”.
