“We celebrate each other's work and each other's wins. I've never had a guy who told me my ambition was attractive before.”
These days, Priyanka Chopra is definitely a household name, but she’s more than comfortable with such superstar status. Since winning the Miss World pageant in 2000, she’s become something akin to a cross between a secretary of state and Beyoncé. But neither that, nor her breakthrough success in America has changed Chopra’s gracious, down-to-earth personality, or her commitment to advocating for representation and diversity on and off-screen.
Ambition is something Chopra refuses to apologize for, and she encourages other women to think the same way: “I tell young girls all the time, I am crazy ambitious. I see myself being crazy ambitious for a really long time.”, a Hindi-language film she co-produced and stars in, which tells the real-life love story of Aditi and Niren Chaudhary through the eyes of their daughter Aisha, a young woman with pulmonary fibrosis.
Despite being one of the most beautiful women in the world, Chopra has not forgotten her own childhood insecurities, and is a fierce advocate for the importance of representation of all kinds of bodies and skin tones in media. As a teenager in America, Chopra says, she never saw anyone who looked like her on television. Now, envisions her legacy as being both an icon for girls of color and a catalyst for change in the industry.
