Priyanka Chopra was Miss World.  And all because of the trick of the younger brother

Priyanka Chopra was Miss World. And all because of the trick of the younger brother

Priyanka Chopra is one of the biggest Indian and Hollywood cinema stars. She was twice on the list of the 100 most influential women in the world by the Forbes magazine, as well as on the corresponding list of the BBC. However, before she started her successful acting, music and production career, she won the Miss World title. She was persuaded to participate in the competition by her 10-year-old brother, who really wanted her to disappear from the house.

The beginning of a stunning career was undoubtedly the victory in the Miss World competition, which took place in 2000. In the same year, she also won the title of Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty—Asia & Oceani. After more than 23 years, the star said with great amusement in an interview with CNN that her younger brother, Siddharth Chopra, has a lot to do with it. The then 10-year-old boy concocted, in his opinion, a plot to get his older sister out of the house.

The younger brother persuaded Priyanka Chopra to the Miss World pageant

Priyanka Chopra in an interview with Chris Wallas does not hide that it was her brother who encouraged her to participate in the beauty contest. His motives, however, were not as noble as might be expected. Chopra was not in their family home for a long time, because as a 13-year-old she went to the USA to live with her aunt and study there. At that time, the boy had his own separate room, and when Priyanka Chopra returned, their dad rearranged this arrangement:

We only had one guest room. My dad thought: She’s a young woman, she needs her space. And just kicked my 10 year old brother out of the room. He carried him into the corridor.

With a laugh, she emphasized that it probably pissed him off that she had her own bedroom, and before that room belonged only to him. “So he hatched this elaborate plan that actually launched my career. And technically, he got his room back.” After winning the title of Miss World 2000, Priyanka Chopra, who by the way was the fifth winning representative of India in the history of the pageant, began to romance the native cinematography. She appeared in a large number of Bollywood films and relatively quickly became one of the biggest stars in her native country.

After some time, ambition made her start looking for roles in Hollywood – as she told CNN in an interview – she wanted to “spread her wings”. By the way, she also started singing pop songs, which helped her gain popularity in the US. Today, she is one of the highest paid and most awarded actresses in her country, not to forget her international fame. He is also involved in philanthropy, film production and business activities – he invests in, among others, in startups, applications and real estate. He also has his own restaurant in Manhattan.
