Not only was she the audience's hot
favourite, even the judges were impressed by the way she spoke so
effortlessly on behalf of humanity and charity. The
eighteen-year-old gal from Bareilly, beat out ninety-four other
lovely ladies to claim the Miss World 2000 title. And, she sashayed
away with $100,000, as prize money, at the Millennium dome, London.
Priyanka
Chopra had done her homework before stepping on the international
stage. As an answer to one of the questions asked at the pageant,
she said, that she would use her success as "a platform to influence
people's thoughts, minds and actions". Mother Theresa, she said, was
someone "I admire from the bottom of my heart for being so
considerate, passionate and kind ... giving up her life to put
smiles on people's faces". In reply to another question that she was
asked, she said, "I work best under pressure....Without expectation
I wouldn't strive for enthusiasm."
Priyanka was born on 18 th July
1982 in the family of doctors, Capt. Dr. Ashok Chopra & Dr. Madhu
Chopra. She has a penchant for Indian music and dance, a flair for
writing poetry and short stories, enjoys reading and theatre, and
has worked for several social welfare programmes. She wants to study
psychology and would like to make it in films in the future. And for
her fellow Indians back home, she has a simple message:
"I love you all."
