Things we can tell about Priyanka Chopra from her Instagram account

Back at home, we know her as the 17-year-old girl who made history with her win as Miss World and who become the woman of the hour in Bollywood with her versatility. Our OG 'Desi Girl' went on to become a global icon with her debut as a pop singer and a foray into the world of Hollywood. Think Priyanka Chopra and words such as bold, ambitious, go-getter, beautifully confident, and commands-attention-in-every-room-she-walks-into come to mind. Her Instagram account is a reflection of all this and more. “There is a first time for everything”, reads her bio and her journey is testament to these words. Chopra has always been unabashedly and unapologetically herself and her vivacious on-screen personality is complemented by her goals, beliefs, and values. Here are a few things we’ve been able to gauge about her personality as one of her 80 million followers on Instagram. 

She believes in using her platform for the larger good

Chopra has been incessantly vocal about the need for gender equality and education for young girls and has been a strong advocate of financial independence for women. She has often taken to Instagram to share her work with UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador, which includes but is not limited to advocating child rights and the health and education of young girls in India. In the wake of the Russia-Ukraine War, Chopra shared glimpses of her experiences with refugee children in Poland and took a firm stance against war. Last year, she even took to the Gram to share an incredibly insightful conversation with the Vice President of the United States of America, Kamala Harris. She’s driven in her pursuit of creating change and leaving an unforgettable mark on the world. 

She will always be our OG Desi Girl 

Chopra might be a global icon, but she will always be our 'Desi Girl' at heart. She never misses a chance to flaunt her traditional Indian ensembles (we adore them all), and share her love for celebrating every festival that is a part of the Indian culture. Whether it’s Holi or Diwali, Chopra and Jonas celebrate the occasion in style with their loved ones and in the warmth of their home. Recently, we saw glimpses of the coupe’s adorable daughter, Malti Marie, making an appearance on her Gram during a Pooja and other festivals. Ain’t nobody like her—truly. 

She loves love!

Remember when her wedding with Nick Jonas broke the Internet? Well, she’s garnered that response a few times since. She is head over heels in love with her beau and is absolutely unafraid to show it. Whether it’s accompanying him on tours, attending his concerts, or squeezing in some together-time on a holiday, Chopra has always been expressive of her love for family, her husband, and now her daughter, and we get a little gushy every time she posts about such heartfelt moments. A glimpse at her Instagram and you’re bound to find frequent heart emojis and love-induced captions against some of the most adorable images. 

She’s her authentic self—messy hair and all

When you’ve been in the spotlight all your life and are told to conform to conventional standards of beauty, it can be difficult to embrace yourself, your looks, and body. Despite going through the gamut of judgements that came her way, or perhaps because of it, Chopra has no qualms about messy hair and no-makeup looks. She could care little about the labels thrown at her and her Instagram is proof of just that. 

She’s ambitious AF 

If you haven’t realised yet, there’s little that can stop PeeCee from achieving what she wants. Through her Instagram, we’ve seen the icon flourish in her career as an actor in Bollywood and Hollywood. She’s won accolades for her performance in her latest show, Citadel; presented at the Oscars; launched her own production house; started a restaurant and a home décor store; and so much more. She’s definitely on her way to #GlobalDomination.
