Actress Priyanka Chopra who is celebrating 20 years of her acting career, took to social media to share a video of her journey from being ‘’an outsider with no connections in Bollywood’ to a ‘global star’.
Sharing the video which shows clips from her movies, TV shows, interviews, her Miss World days, and also her wedding to singer Nick Jonas, she wrote: “Thank you @ozzyproduction and all of you for such a beautiful reminder of these 20 years since I started in this business. I want to celebrate with all of you... stay tuned.”
The video lists out her achievements—‘first Indian actress to cross over to US stardom’, first south Asian actress to win People’s Choice Award, National Award winner—and many more, and also shows her on the covers of magazines like Vogue. In a clip that shows her accepting the Best Actress Filmfare Award for Fashion, she says in her speech: “I think this is the first time my dad won’t mind that I am bringing home a girl tonight.”

All through the video, the message being shared is about how girls are often taught to restrict their dreams. The video on Priyanka’s journey from Bollywood to being a global star is inspirational.
Priyanka recently signed a multimillion-dollar television deal with Amazon. The actress, who launched her own production banner Purple Pebble Pictures in 2015, said she aims to create "great content" featuring "creative talent" from all over the world. "This has always been the DNA of my production house Purple Pebble Pictures, and is the foundation of this exciting new endeavour with Amazon.
Prior to her deal with Amazon, the actor lined up two projects with the streamer. She will star opposite Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden in upcoming thriller series "Citadel", to be produced by Anthony and Joe Russo.
She will also feature in Sangeet, an unscripted series co-produced with her husband, Nick Jonas.
Priyanka's another project with Amazon is a film about Ma Anand Sheela, the assistant to guru Bhagwan Rajneesh (also known as Osho). The actor will be producing the movie which is based on Netflix docu-series Wild Wild Country. Besides her association with Amazon, the actor will next star in two Netflix projects— superhero movie We Can Be Heroes and The White Tiger, opposite Rajkummar Rao.
She is currently shooting for Keanu Reeves-starrer The Matrix 4, which recently resumed filming after production was halted by the pandemic.
