About Priyanka Chopra
Priyanka was born on July 18, 1982, in Jamshedpur, which was then in Bihar and is now part of Jharkhand. Her parents, Ashok and Madhu Chopra were both doctors in the Indian Army. Her father was a Punjabi Hindu from Ambala, and her mother was a Bihari-Magahi Hindu from Jharkhand.

She has a younger brother named Siddharth, seven years younger than her. She is also cousins with Bollywood actresses Parineeti Chopra, Meera Chopra, and Mannara Chopra.
Priyanka went to several schools, including La Martiniere Girls’ School in Lucknow and St. Maria Goretti College in Bareilly. When she was 13, she moved to the United States to continue her studies and lived with her aunt.
During this time, she attended schools in Newton, Massachusetts, and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and also spent some time in Queens, New York, because her aunt’s family moved around a lot.
She began dating American singer and actor Nick Jonas in May 2018. Nick proposed to her on July 19, 2018, the day after her birthday, while they were in Crete, Greece. They got engaged in August 2018 with a traditional Punjabi Roka ceremony in Mumbai.
In December 2018, they were married at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, having both Hindu and Christian ceremonies. After getting married, Priyanka changed her name to Priyanka Chopra Jonas. In January 2022, they welcomed their first child, a baby girl, through surrogacy.

She then went on to compete in the Miss World pageant, where she was crowned Miss World 2000 and also won the Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty—Asia & Oceania title.
The event took place at the Millennium Dome in London on November 30, 2000. Priyanka was the fifth Indian to win the Miss World title, and the fourth in just seven years. She had started college but decided to leave after winning the Miss World pageant.
Acting Journey Priyanka Chopra
After winning the Miss India World title, Priyanka Chopra Jonas was supposed to make her film debut in Abbas-Mustan’s romantic thriller Humraaz (2002), but her first movie role actually came in the 2002 Tamil film Thamizhan, where she played the love interest of the main character, portrayed by Vijay.
In 2003, she made her Bollywood debut in The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, where she played the second female lead alongside Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta.
