She’s incredibly talented

First and foremost, she's a great actress, in fact she's one of India's highest paid and TIME magazine named her one of the most influential women in the world. After being crowned Miss World in 2000, she began her career in acting starring in science fiction film Krrish and Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion – a film about the Indian fashion industry. Since then she has appeared in Baywatch, TV series Quantico and lent her voice to a character in Disney animation Planes. She also has her own production company, Purple Pebble Productions, and has released three singles, one of which [featured will.i.am back in 2013](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjgq6-5uDtYq6-5uDtY ).

She’s not afraid to call people out

Priyanka hasn't shied away from being frank in interviews, she's spoken about the gender pay gap in Hollywood, how she was passed over for a role because of her skin colour and criticised the wayVanity Fairportrayed Meghan Markle on their cover, calling it sexist. More recently she's spoken up about the controversial Simpson's character Apu, saying; 'He was the bane of my life growing up, for sure. I was always asked when I was in high school at 14, 15, why I didn't speak like that. Or are my parents doctors (which they are)? Did I find gold in my rivers? Did I go to school on elephants? I always had questions like that,' Chopra saidin an appearance on TV show The View. 'So I think, yes, it is a time where, why try to erase stereotype? Yes, it is a cartoon. Yes, it's a pop culturally super successful show. But that gives it more responsibility. It's out of date on so many levels,' she added.

Her eyebrows are everything

To be honest, her makeup is flawless at all times. But her eyebrows are especially enviable. Apparently she brushes them up with a comb, draws a line along the base and then brushes them back and blends.
