her to the Femina Miss India pageant. On competing, Priyanka won the Femina
Miss India-World title and an opportunity to represent her country for the
Miss World competition.
In the Miss World competition, the judges were so impressed by Priyanka
Chopra’s performance that they omitted the mistake that she made during the
last round and she was adjudged winner of the Miss World 2000 title. She was
asked which living woman she admires most, in the finals, and Priyanka replied
“Mother Theresa”, but at that time Mother Theresa had deceased. But that was
the only mistake she made throughout the tough competition.

Promising newcomer for Andaaz from Star Screen and Filmfare. Her Villainous
role in Aitraaz won her many awards and accolades. She hasn’t had to look back
since then. Her Mujhse Shaadi Karogi with Salman Khan was a hit.

movie so far and it is one of the biggest hits of all time for Hindi film
