Priyanka Chopra Jonas looks unrecognisable in an old childhood photo. The actress shared a rare picture of her 9-year-old self alongside a photo of herself at 17 when she won the Miss India crown in 2000.
Priyanka took to her social media handle to share a then-and-now photo. She wrote, “Don’t troll my 9-year-old self.” Check it out here:
She added, “So wild to think about what puberty and grooming can do to a girl. On the left is me at my awkward pre teen era with a boy-cut hairstyle so it wouldn’t be cumbersome at school. (Thanks ma Madhu Chopra ) I went from a katori cut to this. so it was a win.”
“And on the right is me at 17, having just won Miss India in the year 2000 and basking in the glory of hair, makeup and wardrobe… Both pictures were taken less than a decade apart. As Britney Spears very articulately put it… I’m not a girl, not yet a woman. That was exactly how I felt then, entering the big world of entertainment,” she continued.
She concluded, “Almost 25 years later.. still figuring it out. Though, aren’t we all? Looking back at my younger self often makes me kinder to myself today. Think about your younger self and how much she has done for you. Love yourself, you’ve gone through a lot to be where you are today. What did your younger self do for you? Post your #growupchallenge. Thank you to who made this side-by-side picture and sent me.”
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to star in Heads of State alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. She is also set to star in The Bluff.
