Priyanka Chopra is a famous Indian actress, singer, and film producer. She started her career in 2002, and since then has appeared in more than sixty films, and also played a leading role in the famous TV show Quantico. As a recording artist, she has released three singles. She is also the founder of the production company Purple Pebble Pictures, which released the acclaimed Marathi film Ventilator.
Background
Ethnicity:
Chopra's father was a Punjabi Hindu from Ambala; her mother is from Jharkhand.
Priyanka Chopra was born on July 18, 1982, in Jamshedpur, Bihar (present-day Jharkhand), India, to Ashok and Madhu Chopra, both physicians in the Indian Army. Her mother is the eldest daughter of Madhu Jyotsna Akhouri, a former member of Bihar Legislative Assembly, and Doctor Manohar Kishan Akhouri, a former Congress veteran. Her late maternal grandmother was a practicing Jacobite Syrian Christian originally named Mary John, belonging to the Kavalappara family of Kumarakom, Kottayam district, Kerala before her marriage. Chopra has a brother, Siddharth, and actresses Parineeti Chopra, Meera Chopra and Mannara Chopra are her cousins. Due to her parents' occupations the family relocated to a number of places in India, including Delhi, Chandigarh, Ambala, Ladakh, Lucknow, Bareilly, and Pune. Among the many places that she lived, Chopra has fond memories as a child of playing in the valleys of Leh, in the cold northwestern Indian desert region of Jammu and Kashmir. At the age of thirteen, Chopra moved to the United States.
Chopra has maintained a strong relationship with her family, including her younger brother, and lives in an apartment on the same floor as her family. She was especially close to her father, who died in June 2013. Her mother, a well-established gynaecologist in Bareilly, gave up her practice to support her as she embarked upon a film career.
Education
Among the schools Chopra attended were La Martiniere Girls' School in Lucknow and St. Maria Goretti College in Bareilly. At the age of thirteen, she moved to the United States to study, living with her aunt, and attending schools in Newton, Massachusetts, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, after a stop in Queens, New York, as her aunt's family also moved frequently. While in Massachusetts, she participated in several theater productions and studied Western classical music, choral singing and Kathak dance.
After three years, Chopra returned to India, finishing the senior year of her high-school education at the Army Public School in Bareilly. During this period, she won the local "May Queen" beauty pageant, after which she was pursued by admirers, leading her family to equip their home with bars for her protection. Her mother then entered her in the Femina Miss India contest of 2000; she finished second, winning the Femina Miss India World title. Chopra then went on to the Miss World pageant, where she was crowned Miss World 2000 and Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty - Asia & Oceania at the Millennium Dome in London on November 30, 2000. Chopra was the fifth Indian contestant to win Miss World, and the fourth to do so in seven years.
She initially aspired to make her career in criminal psychology and enrolled in college, but left after winning the Miss World pageant. Chopra said that the Miss India and Miss World titles brought her recognition, and she then began receiving offers for film roles.
After winning Miss India World, Chopra was cast as the female lead in Abbas-Mustan's romantic thriller Humraaz (2002), in which she was to make her film debut. However, this fell through for various reasons: she stated the production conflicted with her schedule, while the producers said they re-cast because Chopra took on various other commitments. Her screen debut occurred in the 2002 Tamil film Thamizhan as the love interest of the protagonist, played by Vijay. A review published in The Hindu was appreciative of the film for its wit and dialogue, however it felt that Chopra's role was limited from an acting viewpoint.
In 2003, Chopra made her Bollywood film debut as the second female lead opposite Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta in Anil Sharma's The Hero: Love Story of a Spy. Set against the backdrop of the Indian Army in Kashmir, the film tells the story of an agent and his fight against terrorism. Later that year she appeared in Raj Kanwar's box-office success Andaaz with Akshay Kumar, again sharing the female lead. Chopra played a vivacious young girl who falls in love with Kumar's character. Chopra's first three releases in 2004 - Plan, Kismat, and Asambhav - performed poorly at the box office. Later that year she starred with Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar in David Dhawan's romantic comedy Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, which became the third-highest-grossing film of the year in India and emerged as a commercial success. In late 2004, she starred opposite Kumar and Kareena Kapoor in Abbas-Mustan's thriller Aitraaz.
In 2005, Chopra appeared in six films. Her first two releases, the action thrillers Blackmail and Karam, were commercially unsuccessful. Later that year she played the wife of Akshay Kumar in Vipul Amrutlal Shah's family drama Waqt: The Race Against Time, the story of a small businessman who, hiding his illness, wants to teach his irresponsible son some lessons before he dies. During production, Chopra revisited Leh, a favourite childhood haunt, for the shooting of the song "Subah Hogi." The film was well received by critics, and was a commercial success. She next starred opposite Arjun Rampal in the romantic mystery thriller Yakeen, portraying the role of a possessive lover. Her next release was Suneel Darshan's romance Barsaat, co-starring Bobby Deol and Bipasha Basu. The film was a critical and commercial failure in India but fared better in the overseas market. Later that year, Rohan Sippy cast her with Abhishek Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh and Nana Patekar in the comedy Bluffmaster! Chopra played independent working woman Simran Saxena, Bachchan's love interest. The film proved to be a box-office success. After starting 2006 with special appearances in three films, Chopra starred in Rakesh Roshan's superhero film Krrish. Co-starring with Hrithik Roshan, Rekha and Naseeruddin Shah, Chopra played a young television journalist who schemes to take advantage of an innocent young man with remarkable physical abilities, but eventually falls in love with him. The film was the second-highest-grossing film of the year in India and grossed over $17 million worldwide attaining a blockbuster status. Her next film was Dharmesh Darshan's romantic comedy Aap Ki Khatir, co-starring Akshaye Khanna, Ameesha Patel and Dino Morea. Neither the film nor Chopra's performance were well received. Chopra's final release of 2006 was Farhan Akhtar's action-thriller Don, with Shah Rukh Khan.
In 2007, Chopra had two leading roles. Her first film was Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love, a romantic comedy in six chapters with an ensemble cast. She was featured opposite Salman Khan in the first chapter as Kamini, an item girl and aspiring actress who tries to land the lead role in a Karan Johar film with a publicity gimmick. Both Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute to Love and her next film, Big Brother, proved unsuccessful at the domestic box office. In 2008, Chopra starred opposite Harman Baweja in his father's Love Story 2050. Chopra played a double role, so she coloured her hair twice; once red to portray the girl from the future and then black for the girl of the past. She next appeared in the comedy God Tussi Great Ho, portraying a TV anchor opposite Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Chopra next starred as a kindergarten teacher in Chamku opposite Bobby Deol and Irrfan Khan, and played the role of Sonia in Goldie Behl's fantasy superhero film Drona opposite Abhishek Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. The string of poorly received films ended when Chopra starred in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, a drama about the Indian fashion industry which followed the lives and careers of several fashion models. She portrayed the ambitious supermodel Meghna Mathur, a role which she initially thought was out of her depth, but after six months' consideration she accepted the role, inspired by Bhandarkar's confidence in her. Both the film and her performance received critical acclaim, becoming a major turning point in her career. Fashion emerged as a commercial success, and was listed by Subhash K. Jha as one of the best films of the decade with women protagonists. Chopra's final film of the year was Tarun Mansukhani's romantic comedy Dostana, with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Chopra played a stylish young fashion-magazine editor Neha, who is trying to deal with professional pressures in her life.
In 2009, Chopra played a feisty Marathi woman named Sweety in Vishal Bhardwaj's caper thriller Kaminey, about twin brothers and the journey in their life linked with the underworld. The film received critical acclaim and became successful at the box-office with the worldwide gross earnings of $10 million. Chopra subsequently appeared in Ashutosh Gowariker's romantic comedy What's Your Raashee?, based on the novel Kimball Ravenswood by Madhu Rye. The film depicts the story of a US-based Gujrati NRI in search of his soulmate among 12 girls associated with the 12 zodiac signs.
In 2010, Chopra starred with Uday Chopra in Jugal Hansraj's unremarkable romantic comedy Pyaar Impossible! as Alisha, a beautiful college girl who falls in love with a nerdy boy. Later that year, she co-starred with Ranbir Kapoor in Siddharth Anand's romantic comedy Anjaana Anjaani. The film, set in New York and Las Vegas, follows the story of two strangers, both trying to commit suicide, who eventually fall in love with each other. The film was a moderate commercial success, and received mixed reviews from critics. She starred as a femme fatale in her first film of 2011, Vishal Bhardwaj's black comedy 7 Khoon Maaf. The film and her performance received acclaim from critics. Chopra's final release of the year saw her reprising her role as Roma in the second installment of the Don franchise, Don 2. Although the film received mixed reviews, Chopra's performance earned positive feedback from critics. Don 2 was a major success in India and overseas, earning over $30 million worldwide.
Chopra's first film of 2012 was Karan Malhotra's action drama Agneepath, in which she starred with Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt and Rishi Kapoor. Produced by Karan Johar, the film is a remake of his father's 1990 production of the same name. She featured as Kaali Gawde, Roshan's loquacious love interest in the film. Agneepath broke Bollywood's highest opening-day earnings record, and had a worldwide gross of $28 million. Chopra next co-starred with Shahid Kapoor in Kunal Kohli's romance, Teri Meri Kahaani. The film relates the stories of three unconnected couples, born in different eras. Anurag Basu's Barfi!, with Ranbir Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz, was her final appearance of 2012. The film received critical acclaim and was a major commercial success, earning $25 million worldwide.
In 2013, she lent her voice to the character of Ishani, the reigning Pan-Asian champion from India and the love interest of the main protagonist in the Disney Animation Studios's film Planes, a spinoff of Pixar's Cars franchise. She played an NRI girl in the Apoorva Lakhia's bilingual action drama Zanjeer, a remake of the 1973 Hindi film of the same name, which met with poor reactions from critics and was unsuccessful at the box office. Chopra next reprised her role of Priya in Rakesh Roshan's Krrish 3 - a sequel to the 2006 superhero film Krrish - with Hrithik Roshan, Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut. She also appeared in an item number titled "Ram Chahe Leela" for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.
In 2014, Chopra played the lead female role in Yash Raj Films's romantic action drama Gunday directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, alongside Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Irrfan Khan. She portrayed Nandita, a cabaret dancer in Calcutta. Set in the 1970s, the film tells the story of two best friends who fall in love with Nandita. Gunday proved to be a box-office success, grossing over $14 million worldwide. Chopra next starred as the title character in Mary Kom, a biographical film of the five time world boxing champion and Olympic bronze medalist Mary Kom. Mary Kom emerged as a commercial success, with revenues of $15 million at the box office.
In 2015, Chopra starred in Zoya Akhtar's Dil Dhadakne Do, an ensemble comedy-drama alongside Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar. The film tells the story of a dysfunctional Punjabi family, who invite their family and friends on a cruise trip to celebrate the parents' 30th wedding anniversary.

In 2016, Chopra starred as a police officer in Prakash Jha's social drama Jai Gangaajal. It did not perform well commercially. She next produced the Marathi comedy-drama Ventilator under her production company Purple Pebble Pictures. The following year, Chopra made her Hollywood live-action film debut by playing the antagonist Victoria Leeds in Seth Gordon's action comedy Baywatch opposite Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. The 2018 Sundance Film Festival marked the release of Chopra's next American film, A Kid Like Jake, a drama about gender variance, starring Jim Parsons and Claire Danes. A year later, Chopra had another supporting part, as a yoga ambassador, in Todd Strauss-Schulson's comedy Isn't It Romantic, which starred Rebel Wilson in the lead role. She returned to Hindi cinema later in 2019 with Shonali Bose's biographical drama The Sky Is Pink, in which she played mother to Aisha Chaudhary, a teenager suffering from a terminal illness. She also produced the project, and connected with the story for its blend of humour and tragedy.
Chopra will next star in two films for Netflix: an adaptation of Aravind Adiga's satirical novel The White Tiger and Robert Rodriguez's superhero film We Can Be Heroes. Chopra has also committed to star alongside Mindy Kaling in a comedy about an Indian-American wedding, and will portray the lawyer Vanita Gupta in Gordan's courtroom drama Tulia, an adaptation of a non-fiction book Tulia: Race, Cocaine, and Corruption (2005) based on the 1999 racial injustice case that took place in the city of the same name.

As for her other performances, in 2007 Chopra was on the judges' panel of the Miss India pageant. She also served as a judge at Miss World 2009. She visited Jawan troops in Tenga, in eastern India, for a special episode of the NDTV show Jai Jawan celebrating the 60th anniversary of India's independence.

Religion
A practicing Hindu, Chopra performs a puja every morning at a small shrine consisting of various murtis of Hindu deities in her home, which she even travels with.
Politics
Chopra once revealed that she would like to run for prime minister of India and would love her husband Nick Jonas to run for president. Opening up about the political aspirations for herself and her beau, Priyanka said that both of them "want to make a change," reported People. "I would love to run for prime minister of India. I would love Nick to run for president," Priyanka told The Sunday Times as cited by People. "I don't like the things associated with politics, but I know that both of us really want to make a change." While she told the outlet that she has tried to remain apolitical throughout her life because she likes to "cheer for humanity," Chopra couldn't deny the fact that Jonas could swap his rockstar life to live in the White House and would make for a great leader.
Chopra thinks that actors shouldn't be used as political pawns. In an interview with NDTV, the actress stood by her statement and said that actors shouldn’t be put into trouble for sharing their opinions. In the interview, the actress also requested the audience to not let all these issues affect the films of the actors.
Once Chopra was confronted at BeautyCon for encouraging nuclear war. All the drama was started by a tweet made on February 26, stating, “Jai Hind @IndianArmedForces.” Jai Hind is an Indian phrase that means “Hail India.” The tweet by itself doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, but it was made right after an announcement that the Indian armed forces had launched airstrikes in Pakistani territory, escalating tensions between nuclear powers. While Chopra was on stage, taking questions, at BeautyCon in Los Angeles, a woman confronted her about the tweet. Ayesha Malik, stood up to confront Chopra. She also recorded the interaction and posted it on her own Twitter account. She said, "It was kind of hard hearing you talk about humanity, because as your neighbor, a Pakistani, I know you’re a bit of a hypocrite." She then brought up Chopra’s tweet, reading the statement and the exact date the tweet was made, so viewers could look it up for themselves.
In response to Malik, Chopra said, "So, I have many, many friends from Pakistan and I am from India, and war is not something that I am really fond of but I am patriotic. So, I’m sorry if I hurt sentiments to people who do love me and have loved me, but I think that all of us have a sort of middle ground that we all have to walk, just like you probably do as well."
In 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the wedding of Chopra and Jonas, and the couple reciprocated with a heartfelt Instagram post. What might be viewed as a kind gesture by a Prime Minister might also be viewed as a political statement.
Views
In an interview published in Daily News and Analysis, Chopra said that she did not mind travelling regularly and changing schools; she welcomed it as a new experience and a way to discover India's multicultural society. She now considers Bareilly her home town, and maintains strong connections there.
Chopra supports various causes through her foundation "The Priyanka Chopra Foundation for Health and Education," which works towards providing support to unprivileged children across the country in the areas of Education and Health. She donates ten percent of her earnings to fund the foundation's operations, and pays for educational and medical expenses for seventy children in India, fifty among whom are girls. She often speaks out on women's issues: against female infanticide and foeticide, and in support of education for girls. A believer in feminism, Chopra has always been vocal about women's rights, gender equality, and gender pay inequality. In 2006, a "day with Chopra" was auctioned on eBay; the proceeds were donated to an NGO, Nanhi Kali, which helps educate girls in India. She has made appearances in support of other charities, such as the 2005 HELP! Telethon Concert to raise funds for the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
In 2009, she shot a documentary for the organisation Alert India to increase understanding of leprosy. She modelled for designer Manish Malhotra and Shaina NC's charity fashion show to raise funds for the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA) NGO. In 2010 Chopra was one of several celebrities who created promotional messages for Pearls Wave Trust, which campaigns against violence and abuse of women and girls. Chopra also launched the "Save the Girl Child" campaign, which aims to change the attitudes of Indians towards girls. In 2012 Chopra spoke at the launch of Awakening Youth, an anti-addiction programme.
Chopra is a supporter of environmental charities. She appeared with children in an animated video, and removed rubbish from the banks of the Yamuna river in Agra to increase awareness of environmental issues. During the third and fourth editions of Greenathon, she adopted up to seven villages to provide with a regular supply of electricity.
To promote organ donation, Chopra pledged to donate her own organs after death and was co-keynote speaker at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Bollywood-themed 20th-anniversary celebration of its liver-transplant programme in 2012.
She donated $72,000 to Nanavati hospital to build a cancer ward. The ward, which is named after her late father, was inaugurated by her in 2013. The same year, she provided voice-over in English and Hindi for the documentary film Girl Rising for the organisation of the same name. She was invited as one of the speakers alongside Gordon Brown, Steve Wozniak, Bill Clinton, and Charlie Baker for the 50th anniversary of the World Leaders Conference at the Hynes Convention Center, Boston. She spoke about women empowerment through education, discussing inequality and the challenges of education for women, and received a standing ovation for her speech. Chopra also lent her voice to a music video of John Lennon's "Imagine." The video featuring her along with other singers, including Katy Perry, and The Black Eyed Peas was created as part of a global campaign by UNICEF to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
She is also a brand ambassador for NDTV Greenathon, an initiative to support eco-friendliness and provide solar power to rural villages without electricity supplies. She lent her support to the campaign by cleaning and rehabilitating a garbage-laden neighbourhood in Mumbai, and urged people to maintain the cleanliness. In 2015, she voiced People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA's) life-size robotic elephant named "Ellie," who visited schools across the United States and Europe to educate kids about elephants and captivity, and to urge people to boycott circuses.

Personality
During her teenage years in the United States, Chopra sometimes faced racial issues and was bullied for being Indian by an African-American classmate.
Although she is known for her media-friendly attitude, Chopra is publicly reticent about her personal life. She had signed on to play one of the leading ladies in Bharat, but opted out days before filming her scenes. Nikhil Namit, a producer of the film, said that she quit due to her engagement to Nick Jonas and accused her of being "a little unprofessional."
Chopra is known in the Indian media and film industry for her professionalism and is often referred to as "Piggy Chops," a nickname given her by co-stars on the set of Bluffmaster! in 2005. She is popularly referred to by the media and the film industry as "PeeCee" or "PC."
When Chopra was chosen to play the boxer Mary Kom in a biopic on the Olympic medallist, she said that it was very hard for her because she never played sports in her life. She was working hard to perfect herself for the role, and even visited Imphal to meet Kom and the place where the boxing champ practices.
Chopra is a big fan of cricket. "My father used to love cricket. So, whenever there was a tournament, we would watch it together. If I used to get up from my seat during the match, and an Indian player hit a six, I was made to keep standing for some time. Cricket was a big thing at my place. My uncle has played Ranji cricket so it’s kind of a mad cricket-loving family," said Chopra when she appeared on Nerolac Cricket Live. During her wedding, she and the guests played cricket by dividing everyone into Team Bride and Team Groom. She also said Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are her current favourite cricketers as she personally knows both.
She has always adored Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. She also counts Rihanna and Rekha as her style icons.
Chopra is considered a style icon, and she is obsessed with fashionable clothes and jewelry. She loves to wear kitten heels, sunglasses, and despises super tight clothes and bandage dresses. The quality she most admires in a man’s style is "well-turned-out at all times; also his smell and his shoes are important too." The quality she admires in a woman’s style is "finding your unique expression in the way you dress." Her own style is a mix of couture and street and then fast fashion. She loves Chanel and Dior, the Row, Attico, Peter Do. She also said that she has recently found "some amazing pieces at H&M and Mango." When she was asked about her style, her answer was simple: "Me."
When she was asked about her most treasured possession, she said it was her mangalsutra, a necklace the groom ties around the bride’s neck, and a diamond ring her father gave her. She also believes that coins from her father give her good luck.
Chopra drinks alcohol and was seen smoking a couple of times. She loves sweet food and always carries some sweets in her purse. Her other favorite food includes risotto, burgers, french fries, fish curry, bourbon biscuits, and red velvet cake.
In an episode of 73 Questions with American Vogue, Chopra was asked to unveil the contents of her handbag. At first, the products are what you’d expect any 30-something-year-old woman to carry in her purse: gum, sunglasses, perfume, her wallet. But then, she pulled out a bottle of tabasco hot sauce. "You always need hot sauce," she exclaimed after the interviewer made a remark on how random it is to carry a bottle of the spicy condiment in your purse.
Chopra is an animal lover, and adopted a tigress Durga and a lioness Sundari, who live in Ranchi's Birsa Biological Park. She also has a pet dog named Diana.
She is a gadget freak and loves collecting cameras. Her other hobbies include singing, writing poems, and reading.

She has a tattoo, "Daddy’s lil girl," on her right wrist that continues till her right hand. She has got this tattoo as a tribute to her father. Chopra went to Malibu for the shoot of her debut music album in 2012 where she got this tattoo inked on her body.
She suffered an accident during the filming for the song "Do Me A Favour Let's Play Holi" when she electrocuted herself, spending a day recovering in hospital. Once Chopra's heavy workload - filming for several productions, travelling for endorsements and performing at live shows - took its toll; she fainted during filming of What's Your Raashee?, and was admitted to hospital.
