At the age of 13, Chopra went to live with her aunt in Massachusetts, where she completed most of her high school education.

After returning to her daily life, the Miss World winner got an offer to debut in the Indian film industry with a Tamil movie in 2002. Unfortunately, the film wasn't a hit, but her next project"her first-ever Bollywood film"in The Hero: A Love Story of a Spy (2003) finally got her noticed and paved the way for her to star in lead roles in more successful movies, like Andaaz and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi in 2004. After her major breakout role in 2004's Aitraaz, she officially reached Bollywood stardom. By 2006, she had starred opposite Bollywood superstars like Shah Rukh Khan in Don and Hrithik Roshan in Krrish. Priyanka Chopra has also won a slew of awards.
