Actress Priyanka Chopra has shared that her memoir, Unfinished, has become the best-selling book on Amazon US, within 12 hours of being made available for pre-order. “Thank you all for taking us to number 1 in the US in less than 12 hours! I hope you all love the book,” Priyanka wrote in a tweet on Saturday.

On Sunday, Priyanka had introduced fans to her much-awaited memoir Unfinished on social media and said that the pre-orders of the book have already begun.

The book is set to hit the stands on January 19, 2021.

Priyanka took to Instagram to unveil the book cover and described her process of writing.

“My parents taught me at a very young age to have courage of conviction, and I’ve never been ambivalent about this. I have always been guided by my curiosity, drive for challenge, and intrinsic need to constantly evolve and move forward. I have taken many leaps of faith, often times when I was advised not to…and even when I too was afraid.

“Some risks paid off, some didn’t, but what I learned during this process is that I have never shied away from change, or forced guilt on myself for leaving something unfinished if that’s what my evolution as an individual required…,” she wrote.

She said that penning Unfinished required unpacking a lot of her past, including things she thought she had made peace with. She wrote: “The funny thing about writing a memoir is that it forces you to look at things differently, reconciling so many things you thought you had put to bed. In doing so I’ve realized that being “unfinished” has deeper meaning for me, and has in fact been one of the most common threads of my life..”
