From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Priyanka Chopra (born July 18, 1982 in Jamshedpur, India) is an Indian film actress in Hindi films. She is the Miss World title holder for the year 2000. She was raised in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.
Priyanka studied in Lucknow, Bareilly and Boston. After returning from Boston she received a call to participate in the Femina Miss India pageant to which her parents had sent her photographs without her knowledge. At the contest, she won the title of Femina Miss India-World, thus winning the right to represent the country at Miss World. Incidentally all the three Miss India personalities of the pageant went on to win their respective titles for the year - Miss India Universe Lara Dutta became Miss Universe 2000 and Miss India Asia-Pacific Diya Mirza became Miss Asia-Pacific 2000. This was the first time the three titles in one year went to the same country.
Beauty pageants were banned in her conservative home state Uttar Pradesh the year she won the title, and she received death threats as well.
There were allegations that her Miss World title was rigged, after a mistake made by her in the final round was overlooked by the judges. Asked "Which living woman do you admire the most?" she replied, "Mother Teresa", Mother Teresa having died in 1997.
After winning the Miss World title, Priyanka moved to films. She appeared in several successful films, such as Andaaz, Aitraaz and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.
Awards
Priyanka won a Filmfare Sensational Debut Award for her movie Andaaz opposite Lara Dutta (2003). She repeated her success by winning the Filmfare Best Villain Award for Aitraaz in 2004.
