Updated : Jul 18, 2016, 10:00 AM IST
Priyanka Chopra is the queen of everything. From acting, to singing, to dancing and ruling the social media, there is nothing that the actress hasn't done.
PeeCee was crowned as the Miss World in 2000 and has been reigning the industry ever since. This beauty with brains has carved out an awesome career for herself with 55 film credits so far.
The actress has also been awarded with the Padma Shri for her great contribution in Bollywood. After proving her singing skills, the actress went ahead to star in a lead role in American Television show 'Quantico'. Her Hollywood debut 'Baywatch' will soon hit the screens where she will be seen with Dwayne Johnson.
In celebration of her birthday, we bring to you 7 reasons why she is the ultimate woman:
Priyanka has worked with the biggest names in the industry. She was the first Indian ambassador for the worldwide brand - Guess. The actress is making headlines all across the world for being 'the Bollywood actress who has taken the entertainment industry by a storm'. She's broadening the horizon of possibilities for Bollywood and how!
The Barfi actress isn't afraid of speaking up and supports the right causes. She is widely known for her charitable activities.The actress was the UNICEF ambassador for Child Rights. The actress also led a campaign for PETA and has donated money to a cancer ward in the memory of her father. She has also assisted many environmental organisations and has been supporting causes related to girl child education and women empowerment. She has also been a strong voice behind gender equality, safety and pay inequality issues.
In the early 2000s, a bunch of models entered the industry but none could leave a mark. PeeCee finally entered and broke the stereotype that models can't act. Later on, she made her way into singing and a lot of other actresses followed her route. She also broke the norms by playing a negative role in Aitraaz and has always picked up the most unconventional roles. Priyanka also broke the typecast of Indians that exists in foreign by her role in Quantico which was nothing like how Indians were earlier represented.
The lady takes her work very seriously and has delivered exactly what she says she will. The actress trained extremely hard to fit in the shoes of Mary Kom. To ace the character of Jhilmil in Barfi, the actress did a lot of research on the character. No matter how small or big her role is, PeeCee can go to any lengths to get her part right. This is why her career graph has only risen! Her hardwork and dedication has made her bag several prestigious awards.
This actress is just not beauty. Priyanka has the best comebacks for every question and knows where to speak what. She won the Miss World with her extremely honest answers and has stood by what she says.
She has evolved over time, not just as an actor, but she has also sung and launched her own song 'In My City'. PeeCee has sung with Pitbull for her album 'Exotic' and has also won the Best International Debut Award in 2012 for her album.
The actress is headstrong and that is what makes her such a powerful woman. PeeCee shows people who's the boss!
We can't wait to see the actress in an all new avatar for the movie, her Hollywood debut, Baywatch where she plays a villian.
