Priyanka Chopra gets nostalgic about Miss India 2000 pageant

The Heads of State star captioned her post as, “How it started.. how it’s going. (hearts emojis) PS: those 2000s brows though (eyes emoji). My 17 year old self was just trying to pretend like I belonged. In that moment I was desperately trying to keep it together. With the weight of the heavy sari and the newly acquired crown flimsily pinned into my hair with 2 bobby pins, my confidence was slowly slipping as well. But I held it together, just like my sari, with a few safety pins. (smiling emoji)”

In the first slide Priyanka wore her Femina Miss India 2000 sash and white sari. In the second picture from the current times, the actor can be seen taking a mirror selfie. She dons a grey jeans jacket paired with a white crop-top and matching pants in the photo. A fan wrote, “The best and baddest miss world ever (fire emojis). A second fan captioned their comment as, “Queen of Bollywood (heart-shaped eye emoji)”. While a user also complemented her and wrote, “Such an inspiration”.
