Priyanka Chopra’s path to success in Bollywood began with a pageant. In her late teens, Chopra entered into a beauty contest and was later crowned Miss World in 2000, The Tribune India reported. In just a few months, Chopra became one of her country’s most famous faces. In 2001, Chopra was offered a role in the Tamil-language film “Thamizhan,” according to The Hindu.
In 2003, she made her Bollywood debut in “The Hero: Love Story of a Spy.” In 2004, her role in “Aitraaz” earned her critical praise. “Not only does she have the glamour but also all the qualities to be a star,” Sify‘s Kunal Shah raved. The roles continued to find Chopra, rather than the other way around. “People kind of knew who I was and [I] was cast in movies … And then I just ended up doing a lot of them because I guess I was decent at my job,” she said on “Good Morning America” in 2016.
The first time Chopra had to actually go to an audition happened only when she decided to try her luck in Hollywood. “When I picked ‘Quantico’ as a script, I had to meet them and they had to meet me and I had to do a reading,” she said. More than a decade into her career, she was all of a sudden a bundle of nerves. “I talked to myself … ‘You’ve done 50 movies. What’s wrong with you?'”
