How Priyanka Chopra is Ruling The World With Her Talent

Priyanka Chopra is one of the most successful and finest actresses of Bollywood in the recent times. From playing a seductress in Aitraaz to the legendary boxer in Mary Kom to a woman loving her husband despite his infidelity in Bajirao Mastani, Priyanka has invariably won hearts across the globe.

This National Award winning actress is not just confined to the Indian entertainment industry but is happily displaying her talent overseas too. The actress made her American television debut with ABC network's Quantico and is all set for her Hollywood debut next year with Baywatch. She would be seen portraying a negative character manipulating Dwayne Johnson and Zac Effron.

Chopra was conferred with Padamshri last year and is now officially the global face of Bollywood in the foreign land. She walked the Oscars' red carpet and presented an award too. Besides bagging the People's Choice Award for breakthrough performance in Quantico for two consecutive years, she stole the thunder from Jimmy Fallon during the 'Chicken-eating' competition and was sent out a special invite to Barack Obama's last celebrity dinner. With a resume like that, Chopra has clearly ruled the world with her talent, beauty, and appeal.

Priyanka Chopra is living the dream of every Indian right now. Chopra doesn't need the thick Indian accent or a fake American twang to make her presence felt. Chopra is the first Bollywood star to play a protagonist in an international television project. The fact that she is playing an American citizen and not some NRI or an immigrant, makes Quantico much more unique. The actress now hangs out with the everybody, from the Kardashians to legendary actresses like Kate Winslet and Nichole Kidman.

While the film failed to garner much-appreciation for its plot, the critics all over were bowled by Priyanka's onscreen confidence and her acting prowess as an uptight, manipulating villain.

Her social media presence is as entertaining as her on-screen presence and the actress makes sure to be on as many 'trending', interactive platforms and talk shows, as possible. Look at her Fallon, and Kimmel videos and her extremely witty Vogue's 73 questions. She even turned producer this year, promoting regional Marathi Cinema and is also backing a Sikkimese film Pahuna, which was unveiled at the 70th Cannes Film Festival.

The best thing about Chopra's global appeal is that is isn't confined to just entertainment. The leading lady of Bollywood is an active columnist for Elle.com. She has written hard hitting and factual articles on gender discrimination and women empowerment in international dailies like The Guardian and The New York Times. While many celebrities in India shy away from talking about sensitive topics, she has been quite upfront about them. Not just the words, Chopra has been doing some great work in girl child education and women empowerment at her home-country as well. She has always been an active social worker and has promoted various causes like environment, education and gender issues and equality for all, at all events. She has used her global image and fame to promote the concept of global- citizenship, being a real example herself.

From earning one of the highest civilian awards in India to being featured in Time's 100 most influential celebrities, Chopra is undoubtedly at the peak of her career and has been accepted by the world not as an Indian face but as a talent rooting from Indian soil. Her words, "I don't want to be a label, I want to break the stereotypes. I want to be a legacy" summarises the ideology of her life. The actress has been an inspiration for many from the fraternity and commoners alike. And this is just the beginning!

Chopra is every Indian's idol and let's hope she continues to inspire young minds with her work and attitude.
