The Most Iconic Movies of Priyanka Chopra That Made Her a Star
5. Aitraaz
It is said that Priyanka made her acting debut in 2002, but in reality, her first break in Bollywood happened with the release of the Abbas-Mustan-directed film Aitraaz back in 2004. Starring Akshay Kumar, Kreena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Paresh Rawal, this thriller movie was Priyanka’s first role as an antagonist, which turned out to be a massive hit, and her performance received a lot of critical appreciation. She won the filmfare for the best actress in a negative role for her character Sonia Roy after this movie.
4. The sky is pink.
Directed by Shonali Bose, this was Priyanka’s first movie after she married the American superstar Nick Jonas. This film is so special for her, as it is her first venture as a producer after her production house, Purple Pebble Picture, got established. Siddharth Roy Kapoor and Ronnie Screwvala also gave their creative touches as co-producers in this movie. The Sky is Pink is a biography film based on the life of motivational speaker Aisha Choudhary, and Priyanka’s performance as a mother of two teenage children accurately portrayed it through her acting skills in this movie, which received a lot of global appreciation.
3. Bajirao Mastani
Even though the 2015 Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed movie focused on the two characters Bajirao and Mastani, played by Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, Priyanka’s character, Kashi Bai, magnificently portrayed the feelings of love, hurt, and vulnerability in this film. The audience can never hate her role in this film; instead, her justice to this character left the viewers resonating and contemplating the fact that Bajiro Mastani was a movie based on Peshwa’s extramarital affair, and Kashi never left her side despite being heartbroken. She got the Filmfare, Screen, and IIFA awards for her supporting role in this movie.
2. Barfi (2012)
This Anurag Basu-directed movie stars Ileana D’Cruz, Ranvbir Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. Priyanka portrayed the character of an autistic teenage girl named Jhilmil. Who is overly protective of her boyfriend, Barfi, who is deaf and mute. Barfi is filled with all emotions and is altogether decorated by the excellent performances of the actors. Priyanka’s performance in this movie, which was India’s official entry for the Oscar, was well presented by critics. She got nominations in all major award functions for Barfi and won the Zee Cine Award for the same.
1. Fashion (2008)
Fashion is considered the best movie. Priyanka Chopra released during her 18-year Bollywood career because her character as Meghna Mathur in Fashion brought her ultimate talent to screen and shifted her acting career to the next level. This Madhur Bhandarkar-directed movie is remarkable and precious for Priyanka because it gave her the national award for best actress for her brilliant performance as Meghna Mathur. She also won a Filmfare award for playing the protagonist in this women-centric movie, which made her the most paid female actor of that year. Even after winning billions of awards all over the world now, one can still say that fashion is the biggest turning point of her career.
