She said she would try to "talk about existential theories, when I didn't even understand what the word meant" after seeing 'The Matrix'.

Talking about how the latest Matrix reframes modern technology, she joked about targeted advertisements popping up on her social media, flagging products that she brought up in casual conversations with a friend. Priyanka said, "I'm fully, fully paranoid. Everyone's listening."
Priyanka also appeared at the 100th episode of Red Table Talk, with co-stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and Jada Pinkett Smith to discuss the movie and how she got her steps into the Matrix universe. "I think the Matrix trilogy changed cinema. I remember when the first Matrix came out so clearly. I was 16. I remember how it shifted culture, in terms of the questions and themes it treaded upon in terms of consciousness and reality," she said.
"So when I got the call from my agent, I remember I was in India filming something, and they were like, 'Oh, [director] Lana [Wachowski] wants to meet you tomorrow in San Francisco. I drove to the airport. I was like, 'Sure!' Whatever it takes to get the opportunity to work with all of you lot, it's just such a privilege and an honour," she added.
