Priyanka Chopra recently reflected on her early journey from beauty pageants to global stardom. Speaking on the Going Rogue podcast, the actor looked back at her teenage years and the way quickly life modified after entering the world of pageants.
Priyanka Chopra recalls piercing her belly button at the back of a cab: “I used to be that quintessential 90s girl”
Priyanka first stepped into the highlight when she participated within the Femina Miss India competition as a teen. She later went on to win the celebrated Miss World 2000 title on the age of 18, a victory that transformed her life and launched her profession within the entertainment industry.
Recalling that phase, Priyanka said she had no modelling experience when she entered the pageant and the whole process felt overwhelming for somebody so young. The sudden exposure and responsibilities forced her to mature quickly.
Talking about her personal style during those years, Priyanka admitted that she was not particularly fashion-focused growing up. She said, “I wasn’t a fashion girl growing up. I used to be that quintessential 90s girl.”
She also shared a humorous memory about her love for belly button piercings on the time. Priyanka revealed that she once ended up piercing it again while travelling in a cab. “I loved my belly button ring. I needed to get it re-pierced once at the back of a cab,” she recalled.
Looking back, the actor described those years as a time of rapid change and learning. Winning Miss World at such a young age brought global attention and opportunities, but it surely also required her to grow up quickly and adapt to a brand new life within the highlight.
