Multi-talented Priyanka Chopra, an Indian actress and singer-songwriter, was born July 18, 1982 in Jamshedpur, Bihar. Acting and beauty appears to be in her bloodlines. Her cousins - Parineeti, Meera and Barbie Handa are all celebrities. She really looks glamorous (see photo below).
Priyanka is one of the most successful celebrities of Bollywood. But she thrust into the spotlight by winning the Miss World beauty pageant and Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty - Asia and Oceania in 2000. Soon after, she was cast in the romantic film "Humraaz". Although her perfomance in the film was highly criticized by several movie pundits, this setback only encouraged her to become better in her craft.
Priyanka Chopra continued in making movies. In 2003 and 2004, she was nominated in the Filmfare award for Best Supporting Actress for her roles in "Andaaz" and "Aitraaz". But it was in 2008, when she silenced all her critics for her role as Meghna Mathur in the movie "Fashion", for which she won the National Film Award and Filmfare Award in the Best Actress category. In 2011, her role as a serial killer in “7 Khoon Maaf” was praised by critics and moviegoers alike. Three of her films in 2012 - Don 2, Agneepath and Barfi! – were among the top highest grossing Bollywood films of all time.
With a slim and exotic body such as hers, it is no wonder that moviegoers can't get enough of our featured Bollywood beauty (see wet-look, in bikini photo below)!
Aside from acting, she ventured into writing award-winning songs such as "In My City" (with Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am), "Erase" (with The Chainsmokers) in 2012. Her single "Exotic" (with Pitbull) ranked 16th in the US Dance charts in 2013 (see Youtube video below). This blog expects more platinum hits from her as a singer-songwriter in the future.
