Priyanka Chopra Jonas has always been one for pushing boundaries and going where no woman has gone
before,
be it representing
all that is Indian on the global front, her humanitarian efforts, or getting under the skin of her
characters, transforming
everything from her look to her body language in critically-acclaimed films like Fashion, Barfi and
Mary Kom.
As one of India’s leading stars, she made the bold move to pursue a cross-continental career
and was the first Indian
to headline a mainstream US television show – playing the lead character of Alex Parrish in the
hugely successful ABC
show ‘Quantico’, now in its third season. Quantico airs in over 212 territories and 56 languages
across the world.
She was also the antagonist in the recent Baywatch movie as the villainous Victoria Leeds, alongside
Dwayne ‘The Rock’
Johnson and Zac Efron. Her upcoming film ventures include Isn’t It Romantic (starring Liam
Hemsworth, Rebel Wilson
and Adam Devine) and A Kid Like Jake (starring Jim Parsons, Claire Danes, and Octavia Spencer).
She is the recipient of numerous awards and accolades both in India and internationally.
As an actor, she’s won a gamut of awards in recognition of her talent, including Best Actress,
Best Supporting Actress,
Best Debut and Best Villain from institutions such as Filmfare and IIFA, as well as the National
Award for Best Actress
in India. Internationally, she received the popular People’s Choice Award for two consecutive years,
for her role as
Alex Parrish in Quantico.
Priyanka was named among Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the world and Forbes’
World’s Most Powerful
Women 2017. In 2016, she was conferred the Padma Shri, India’s 4th highest civilian honor.
Priyanka has had a longstanding relationship with UNICEF and is their Global Goodwill
Ambassador. She is also the
Girl Up Champion and propagated the Girl Rising movement in India. She is an advocate for education,
child rights and
adolescents and her philanthropic efforts start from home, through the Priyanka Chopra
Foundation.
She was recently
honoured by Variety as a Woman of Power for her philanthropic efforts.
Her passion for storytelling led her to set up Purple Pebble Pictures, her own production
company, once again doing
it in her own unique way, encouraging regional cinema and giving new talent a platform to shine.

Dr. Madhu Chopra is a powerhouse in her own right… a family physician and an ENT surgeon, she is now
a renowned cosmetic
aesthetician with a private clinic in Juhu, Mumbai. Dr. Chopra has travelled across the globe to
learn and master the
many procedures of cosmetic surgery and its ever-changing technology. She excelled scholastically
and has a string
of illustrious academic achievements.
She was a medical practitioner in the Armed Forces for a major part of her professional career.
When Priyanka was
crowned Miss India, and then Miss World, Dr. Chopra gave up a thriving practice and moved to Mumbai
to allow her daughter
every opportunity to pursue her dreams. This also led to her managing the formative years of her
career, while also
being an advisor, directly handling all the financial aspects of her life. This experience has
equipped her with the
skills necessary to successfully run a production house.
While Priyanka makes the creative calls at Purple Pebble Pictures, Dr. Chopra is the financial
whiz and handles the
business side of things. Together, they are a force to reckon with!
