Now that’s a #TBT.
On Thursday,Priyanka Chopra Jonasreflected on winning the Miss World pageant 20 years ago when she was just 18, sharing a photo of herself in her crown and sash.
“Miss World at 18!” she wrote. “The turn of the millennium…the year 2000! Wow…feels like just yesterday I was living this dream.”
“Now, almost 20 years later, my enthusiasm for changing the status quo remains as strong and is at the core of everything I do,” she continued. “I truly believe girls have the power to bring about change if they get the opportunities they deserve. #strivehigher #dreambig.”
Indeed, the star’s own story is inspiring. Now considered the most successful Indian actor to cross over into the American entertainment industry, Chopra Jonas’ career in the business started a few years after she rose to prominence following her Miss World win.
After establishing herself as a major Bollywood star, she made the jump to the U.S., where she headlined the dramaQuanticoon ABC for three seasons from 2015 to 2018.
