Priyanka Chopra is everywhere.
What with hit movies both in Hollywood and Bollywood, huge beauty and fashion campaigns, regularly spotted on the front row of catwalk shows and walking the red carpet of every major event.
It's no wonder she appears on both Time's 100 Most Influential People and Forbes' 100 Most Powerful Women in the World.
But, where did it all begin and how did she make a name for herself?
Let's delve into Chopra's impressive career...
2002: Priyanka Chopra Wins Miss World
As a child, Chopra's early ambitions were in a slightly different vein to the route that she eventually took, as she initially wanted to be an engineer.
However, as many of us who proclaimed intentions to become astronauts and professional hip-hop dancers can attest to, childhood ambitions often change.
After winning several local beauty pageants (having been entered by her mother Madhu) and then taking the crown of Miss India, in 2002 Chopra wins the title of Miss World at the contest held in London's Millennium Dome aged 18.
In 2017, she told ELLE UK that she firmly believes you can be both Miss World and a feminist: 'Feminism isn't about drawing lines, it's about erasing them. It's about giving women the power to make their own decisions and not being judged for them - just the way men have for so many years.'
2003: Priyanka Chopra sets her sights on Bollywood
Chopra landed her first Bollywood role a year after winning Miss World in The Hero: Love Story of a Spy. She went on to star in numerous movies in the Indian film industry, including huge commercial success Aitraaz, a film that the BBC were effusive in their praise of saying: 'Ultimately, Aitraaz is Priyanka Chopra's film... she chews up every scene she is in with her magnetic screen presence.'

In total, Chopra appears in more than 50 films in India, The Times reports.

'I want to have a job. I want to have a plot. I want to have a story,' she reportedly told the casting executive.
