How Miss World Priyanka Chopra turned her life around

Before having a peaceful life, Priyanka Chopra experienced many difficulties such as being ridiculed for her ditzy personality and having her beauty criticized.

SCMP reported that Miss World 2000 Priyanka Chopra just released a memoir called Unfinished . The book details her bumpy beginnings in the entertainment world.

Miss World 2000 grew up as a dark-skinned girl who always dreamed of having white skin. Later, Priyanka Chopra was asked to change her appearance when she started working in the acting field.

Instead of worrying about a series of pressures, Chopra turned difficulties into strength to gradually improve herself.

Change your perspective on beauty

Racial discrimination has been a problem that has been plaguing for many years. That affected Priyanka Chopra – Miss World 2000. Sharing with Marie Claire, Chopra said that when she was growing up, she thought dark skin was not beautiful and always looked for ways to change this. The beauty born in 1982 found every way to become whiter, for example applying baby powder on her body. Also because of paying attention to her skin, Priyanka Chopra was criticized when she advertised for a skin-lightening cream brand.

Years later, Priyanka Chopra accepted her appearance and gradually learned to love it more. The beauty understood that she had sent the wrong message that made dark-skinned girls like her not love their bodies.

Miss World confided that she felt regretful that black skin was not beautiful. From there, Priyanka Chopra decided to build her own skin care product line.

Need cosmetic surgery?

As a child, Priyanka Chopra was often bullied. When she grew up and began working in Hollywood, the beauty continued to be ridiculed for her ditzy personality. Not only that, Priyanka Chopra has to endure a lot of criticism for her appearance from directors.

In Unfinished , Miss World recounted that at a casting session, a director asked her to stand up and turn around. After that, this person looked at her for a long time and began to make assessments. That director asked Priyanka Chopra to have jaw surgery and buttock augmentation surgery.

In the end, the beauty born in 1982 decided to refuse to work with this director and ended her working contract with the manager at that time. Priyanka Chopra realized that finding her own differences is her strength instead of having to change to please others.

Priyanka Chopra married Nick Jonas in 2018.

Let go of the pressure of parenting

Chopra once shared that she wanted to create a cricket team. However, this could not become a reality because after getting married, her husband was often sought after by the media. In a recent interview with ET Online , Chopra said she realized that the pressure related to her children was tiring and not worth it.

Overcome fear

When it comes to Chopra’s success, many people think that these are popular movies. However, the beauty queen said that the greatest achievement in her life was overcoming her own fear when she discovered it at the annual Penguin lecture in 2017.

“My greatest achievement is turning my vulnerability into my strength, because I’m emotional and affected by so many things,” Chopra confides.
