More about Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka has come a long way from winning the Miss World crown in 2000, leading several Bollywood blockbusters as well as quite a few critically-acclaimed films to permanently moving to Los Angeles after getting married to American singer-actor Nick Jonas. Before meeting Nick, Priyanka had already won accolades as well as major awards for her TV show Quantico on which she was the lead. She has since worked in several Hollywood projects including the recent Russo Brothers’ show Citadel. She is currently working on her film Heads of State.
On paving the way for brown girls in the west, Priyanka had said in an interview with Hindustan Times in 2014, “I don’t think I’m an icon yet, though I’d love to be one someday. I would love to be someone that my country is proud of. I’m trying to do something different. There are a few things that go on in my head. I’ve lived in the US for four-five years as a teenager, and those are your most formative years. Being a regular high school girl, I had no one to look up to, who looked like me. Everyone else was a different colour but brown or Indian. I’m not saying it should be me, but I want to be able to pave the way for brown people to come out there.”
