Priyanka Chopra delighted fans with a blast from the past, sharing a throwback picture from her beauty pageant days alongside a recent mirror selfie. The throwback snap hails from her time at the Femina Miss India pageant in 2000, dressed elegantly in her sash and a white sari. Contrastingly, the current mirror selfie showcases her in a chic grey jeans jacket paired with a white crop-top and matching pants, striking a stylish pose.

On Instagram, the ‘Barfi’ actress shared the photo with a heartfelt caption, reminiscing, “How it started.. how it’s going. (hearts emojis) PS: those 2000s brows though (eyes emoji).” She shared her struggles and determination during those moments, symbolized by the “newly acquired crown” securely pinned in her hair with just two bobby pins. Adding to her nostalgic posts, Priyanka recently celebrated the 22nd anniversary of her 2002 Tamil film “Thamizhan,” marking her first acting project post her Miss World win in 2000. This paved her path to Bollywood, debuting with Andaaz in 2003 alongside Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta.

Looking ahead, Priyanka gears up for her upcoming Hollywood venture ‘Heads of State,’ teasing fans with a glimpse of the script on Instagram. The film, penned by Harrison Query, features Priyanka alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. Additionally, the actress lends her voice to Disneynature’s forthcoming film ‘Tiger,’ a captivating exploration into the world of these majestic creatures, set for release on Disney+ Hotstar. In Bollywood, Priyanka is set to star in Farhan Akhtar’s directorial ‘Jee Le Zaraa,’ alongside Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt, although updates on the project have been scarce since its announcement a few years back.
