en Bollywood News Drab To Fab: Birthday girl Priyanka Chopra, from Bareilly Ki Barfi to NYC’s Street Style Mafia!

She is feisty, fiery and the designated global newsmaker of the millennial generation. Right from her what she wears, her plush NYC home, her pet pooch Diana who has her own Instagram page to her dating shenanigans – Priyanka Chopra keeps us hooked, booked and cooked. As an unstoppable force, she has carved a niche for herself. Her enviable wit, charm, spunky demeanour, intelligence and a rare streak of versatility set her apart, raising the bar exceptionally. She set the mood alight by making the desi and the videsi audiences sit up, notice and lap up her notably remarkable acting prowess. Having starred in more than 50 films in Bollywood, Priyanka Chopra’s tryst with Hollywood began with recording a music album. While she aspired to become an aeronautical engineer, fate certainly had other plans for the former Miss World. While she relies on her instincts for career and even matters of the heart, Priyanka Chopra’s life is a classic tale. Achieving an ultimate transformation from being the typical Desi Girl from Bareilly to being an international style icon in NYC – Priyanka Chopra keeps us busy and how!
