Priyanka Chopra Jonas on Wednesday celebrated 20 years of her Miss World pageant 2000 win and subsequent entry into films. Priyanka on Instagram shared a nostalgic post about her pageant win, and entry into a “magical world”. She used the hashtag #20in2020. She shared a video collage of clips from her early films and her Miss World pageant win. In her post, Priyanka mentioned her Tamil debut film ‘Thamizhan’, and first Hindi films ‘The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy’ and ‘Andaaz’, both of which released in 2003.
“Back to where it all started #20in2020. Seems like another lifetime now… back when it all started and I fell in love with the movies. Being in Indian movies was like entering a magical world.. I went in blind, with no idea what to expect and no formal training. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of challenges and milestones with so much I’ve learned since and so many incredible people I met along the way. I’d like to thank everyone who took a chance on me at the beginning. These 3 movies, ‘Thamizhan’, ‘The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy’ and ‘Andaaz’ set me up on a trajectory I would never have expected,” wrote the actress.
