As the world raises a toast to Bollywood's very own 'Desi Girl' on her 43rd birthday, it is the best time to celebrate the milestones that have shaped her global journey.
While most people know of her Bollywood films, not many may have indulged in her Hollywood acts, but not without penning a candid memoir, while making other fearless choices.
Whether you are a longtime fan of the former Miss World or just curious about her evolution to an iconic powerhouse, this list is a curated look at some of her most impactful audiobooks and films.
Listen
Unfinished
In Unfinished, Priyanka Chopra Jonas offers listeners a raw and intimate glimpse into the moments that shaped her, including her lonely childhood at boarding school, enduring racist bullies in America and grappling with the toxicity she faced in the entertainment industry after winning Miss World. The actress opens up about the sexism she faced early in her career and the deep loss of losing her father, which left her with emotional wounds she had not fully confronted until writing her memoir. Describing the process as cathartic, she said that the words “poured out” of her and helped her reflect on the life behind the spotlight while she wrote her autobiography. Unfinished feels less like a celebrity memoir and more like a letter to her past self where she reclaims her story.
