Priyanka Chopra’s journey from Bareilly to Beverly Hills is one inspiring tale! Carving a niche for herself first on her own homeground and then achieving tremendous success globally, this A-list star has had a run unlike any other Indian star before her. From making audiences sit up and watch her craft on screen to storming the red carpets of the world with her impactful and clever appearances, this ex- Miss World has aced it all!
This (July) being the birthday month of Mrs Jonas, we’ve put together a list celebrating her own most memorable ethnic looks. After all, no matter the global stardom or Encino mansion address she has achieved today, at the bottom of it all, she is the original desi girl who has left no stone unturned to wear her love for her homeland on her sleeve (saree to be precise!) Here’s looking back at the 10 times Priyanka Chopra gave us perfect ethnic goals:
1. The original desi girl made heads turn when she stepped out in a vibrant blue Masaba saree with a textured border. She paired this with a matching bangle set and a neat cut sleeve blouse. This stunner surely knows how to own the traditional trend!
