never dreamt that it was going to be movies for her one day. For someone who had once dreamt of becoming a software engineer or a criminal psychologist at the best, has come a long way today.
Priyanka Chopra, Miss World 2000, is today among the top stars in Bollywood. And, going by the film offers she has bagged of late, she seems to be all set to rule Bollywood in the days to come!
And today, is she is the most sought after in Mumbai's tinsel town.
Hailing from an Army family, Priyanka did her education from La Martiniere Girls College in Lucknow as a resident student. Then a short stay at Maria Goretti College in Bareilly prepared her for further studies in the US. Life took on a complete change with the Femina Miss India.
This former Miss World has against her name a commendable list of philanthropic activities with which she is associated. During her student days, she became the only Indian in the US to be selected at state level for the National Opus Honour choir and she participated in extensive charity work.
She later joined the CAF and CII in their literacy programme and became their ambassador. Priyanka had also earlier been part of the government-sponsored Polio Eradication Programme as a volunteer.
She then made it to Hindi films after going the model route. The Miss World crown is of course a feather in her cap. After winning the title of Miss India World and later becoming Miss World in 2000, Priyanka made her acting debut with the Tamil film Thamizhan in 2001. Two years later, she made her Bollywood debut with Anil Sharma's 'The Hero: Love Story of a Spy'. But she tasted success only with her second Hindi film release, 'Andaaz. It won her the award for the Filmfare Best Female Debut. She then went on to make critics sit up and notice her when she won the Filmfare Best Villain Award for her performance in Abbas-Mustan's 'Aitraaz' in 2004. Even commercially, her career started picking up with films like 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' in 2004, 'Krrish' in 2006 and Farhan Akhtar's Don - The Chase Begins Again, also in 2006. There were of course duds like Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050 and Rumi Jafery's God Tussi Great Ho. But that shouldn't be cause for much worry as Priyanka has films like Goldie Behl's Drona opposite Abhishek Bachchan, Chamku in opposite Bobby Deol, Dostana opposite Abhishek and John Abraham, Ashutosh Gowariker's What's Your Raashee? with Harman Baweja and Madhur Bhandrakar's Fashion in her kitty. The lady has made her place in Bollywood and is today one of the most wanted actresses in B Town, having acted opposite all the biggies like Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan. She is here for the long haul
