There Is Nothing That Desi Girls Can’t Do: Priyanka Chopra Inspires
NOT THAT DESI GIRLS NEEDED ANY PROOF THAT THEY CAN CONQUER THE WORLD, IT IS STILL GREAT TO SEE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE AND REALISE THEIR DREAMS
We are not talking about Priyanka Chopra scoring Nick Jonas, what we mean is just the way that PeeCee is breaking myths and going all guns blazing in owning her life, is aweinspiring. Hear us out… Many would claim that a beauty pageant victory is ticket to Bollywood.
Sure, but there have been enough pageant winners, who have come and gone without being noticed. Just like star kids, pageant winners perhaps get a good launchpad but from there, they are pretty much on their own. Priyanka, too, had her share of bumps while on the road to success but it was her perseverance that kept her going. That, combined with some real acting talent, meant that Priyanka was here to stay in Bollywood. And sure she did! Not only did she star in some really strong roles, she also won awards for most of them. But why limit yourself to Bollywood when you are Miss World, right? Like a true blue ambitious and headstrong desi girl, Priyanka not only went to the West, she took everyone there by a surprise. Here was an Indian girl who refused to be stereotyped as a bumbling geek with a thick accent.
Here was an actress who, with her amazing acting chops, commanded the lead role in an American TV show and owned it.
Here was a girl, who didn’t shy away from playing a baddie in her debut Hollywood film.
No wonder then that the West is so obsessed with her. She was on the wishlist of every chat show and boy, did she impress them all with her wit and charm.
