How Priyanka Chopra became India’s most-followed celebrity – the former Miss World married to Nick Jonas who broke out of Bollywood and into Hollywood
The Quantico and Baywatch star has been a guest of Ellen Degeneres and Jimmy Fallon and appeared on the cover of Vogue – next up she will appear alongside Keanu Reeves in The Matrix 4 and star in The White Tiger and We Can Be Heroes on Netflix, and Sheela and Citadel on Amazon Prime
Just a little over a decade ago, when Priyanka Chopra came to Hong Kong for a stage show in 2009 along with a handful of other Bollywood stars, she was so far down the totem pole her face barely registered in the fliers and posters studded around places where the 40,000-strong Indian diaspora cluster. At the time of writing, she has 54.8 million people following her every move on Instagram, 47 million on Facebook and another 26.3 million on Twitter.
As is typical for most beauty queens in India, Bollywood beckoned her almost immediately and she signed on to do a handful of films. Her first Hindi film, The Hero: Love Story of a Spy released in 2003, did well at the box office; and there was no looking back. To date she has appeared in nearly 50 Indian films and won a trophy or trinket at every conceivable awards night in Bollywood.
What makes Chopra's career trajectory so unique is the success she’s had in the West, while many notable others from Bollywood have failed to make any impact in Hollywood. The roster of names is long: from Persis Khambatta (Miss India 1965) to the beautiful Aishwarya Rai, no one else has become a household name in the Americas like Chopra has.
