Priyanka Chopra's inspiring journey proves she's a true role model

She's a Feminist through and through: Priyanka Chopra is one woman who has truly shown us what hard work, determination, and talent can achieve. From being a simple 18-year-old girl to turning into one of the most powerful women in the world, here's why she needs to be your role model. She has time and again expressed her views on feminism and is an avid supporter of it. "I see so many girlfriends of mine who are like, 'No I'm not that much of a feminist.'

Beauty or flaws, Priyanka says embrace it all

Priyanka is probably one of those few actresses who ask women to not just embrace their beauty but their flaws as well. “You can be an absolute woman and also be smart and tough and not lose your femininity.” “I wasn't the prettiest girl in the room, but I learned to carry myself with confidence - that's how you make the best impression on people.” “As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl. I don’t believe in being a size 0. I don’t believe in starving. Women should totally embrace their curve.” Well, we sure believe Priyanka is our hero. What about you?
