Winfrey sais that Chopra's recently released book Unfinished reminded her of her own visit to India. She asked the Quantico star whether or not she had a spiritual foundation, to which Chopra replied, "I think I did. In India, it is hard not to. You're right. With the swirling number of religions that we have, that live within the country as well. I grew up in a convent school. I was aware of Christianity. My dad used to sing in a mosque, I was aware of Islam. I grew up in a Hindu family, I was aware of that. Spirituality is such a large part of India that you really cannot ignore it."
The actor who is married to American singer Nick Jonas also added, "I am a believer that a higher power does exist and I like to have faith in that."
