Priyanka Chopra reminisced about her beauty pageant days with a throwback photo from the Femina Miss India pageant in 2000, contrasting it with a recent mirror selfie. The throwback picture showcases her adorned in a sash and a white sari, while the mirror selfie captures her in a stylish pose wearing a grey jeans jacket with a white crop-top and matching pants.
Sharing the images on Instagram, the ‘Barfi’ actress captioned, “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).”
