In 2000 she was crowned Miss World and Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty- Asia & Oceania in a competition held in the then Millennium Dome in London.
Despite initially training in psychiatry, the beauty pageants gave her a platform to become one of India’s most highly paid actresses.
She made her Bollywood movie debut in 2003 in the film Hero but her breakout role came in 2004 thriller Aitraaz.
What films has Priyanka Chopra starred in?
Priyanka has starred in a number of top-grossing Indian films and won a National Film Award for Best Actress for her role in the 2008 film Fashion.

Who’s her husband Nick Jonas?
The couple announced their engagement on August 18, 2018.
They both posted the same photo of the two of them on Instagram, with Priyanka’s engagement ring on show.
Nick commented on Priyanka’s post ‘Wow.. congrats. He’s the luckiest guy in the world.’
The Sun exclusively revealed how Priyanka and Nick have taken inspiration from her pal Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding for their own big day — by hiring a palace fit for a princess.
They tied the knot on Saturday, December 1, 2018, at Umaid Bhawan Palace, in Jodhpur, India, with a whole week of festivities leading up to their nuptials.
Nick’s pastor dad, Paul led the Christian ceremony, and Priyanka wore a Ralph Lauren dress.
In November 2021, it was speculated that the two may have broken up after Priyanka dropped “Jonas” from her Instagram handle.
Her bio now reads simply: Priyanka.
She made a similar move on Twitter as that bio now shows her first name in bold letters and nothing more.
Priyanka’s mother Madhu Chopra dismissed the rumors to News18, saying: “It’s all rubbish, don’t spread rumors.”
