Theres recently been a spike in Google searches for Priyanka Chopra / Nick Jonas as news of their engagement flooded our feeds.
And earlier in the year, Priyanka made the headlines when she attended the wedding of Prince Harry and her good friend Meghan Markle. Not going to lie, this leading lady is our new #wcw – besides having the hair of our dreams and an acting career that only seems to get bigger and better with each role, Priyanka Chopra also has a voice she’s not afraid to use to fight for others; and herself. Priyanka Chopra on… Being a role model for women and women of different ethnicities “We need to teach people, especially young girls, to be comfortable with what they are born with. Skin tones are what make us beautiful, and I think that’s a bigger conversation about not trying to fit some standard of beauty created by someone else. Who made these rules? Who said that’s what’s beautiful? I always question that.
In America, everyone’s trying to get tan and in Asia, everyone’s trying to get lighter. The grass is always greener, but the idea is the same: it says beauty comes with changing the skin tone you were born with, and that’s a problem all around the world.”
Her growing fame
“I’ve been in the public eye for more than half of my life. This is my normal. If I go out and people don’t know me, I’m like ‘Is something wrong?’ [Laughs] No, I mean... I’m practical. I’m not someone who hides herself away or doesn’t want to be recognised and asked for a picture. That’s fine for other people, but I don’t understand it. There’s no free lunch in the world, and every job has a professional hazard, as I call it. But I am very private about my personal life. I do what I have to do, and I have ways of doing it.”
