Bollywood actress
The star was there to promote Quantico and pulled off an effortlessly chic look and the interview with ease.
Chopra was dressed in a navy blue bodycon dress with a belt accentuating her waist and completed her look with a pair of Christian Loubotin pumps and oxblood lipstick, and I can’t help but say I dig her look and her attitude. She was confident, sassy and fun!
While the jury is out on whether her accent was downright irritating or had faint hints of Indianness in it, it’d be stupid to not admit that she did kill the interview.
Before watching the five minute clip, I didn’t expect to like it that much. But, I did. And, I’m pretty sure you did too. Jimmy Kimmel himself looked quite impressed!
Thus, we at Business Insider drew up a list of four things Priyanka Chopra revealed during the interview that we’re sure every Indian will relate to:
1. “I wanted to go to school in America because I wouldn’t have to wear an uniform”
Growing up, we’ve all hated going to school wearing uniforms and have dreamt about going school abroad just so we could wear whatever we want and not knee-length socks or skirts that last till below the knees, haven’t we?
Priyanka Chopra was no different. She admitted on the show that she didn’t want to go to school in India because she’d have to wear uniforms.
Her admission drew a laugh from Kimmel who said, “That must’ve been a fairly long commute.”
2. “Every morning I had to wake up two hours early to figure what to wear”
Just after revealing the fact that she went to high-school in America because she could wear whatever she wanted and not an uniform, she was quick to admit that in hindsight that turned out to be a bad decision because she had to wake up two hours early to decide what to wear.
Be it in high school, college or before an important occasion, all girls have been guilty of going through the ‘I have nothing to wear’ phase and spend an outrageously long amount of time deciding what to wear.
3. “You know Indians, right? We travel in packs”
While telling Kimmel that her aunt lives in America, she also elaborated on the fact that her mother’s side of the family live there as well. Then she added the supreme truth about Indians- “We travel in packs.”
That statement hit right home, Priyanka. It did.
4. “I was supposed to be Mrs Tupac Shakur”
All of us are guilty of having celebrity crushes in school that we wouldn’t be proud of right now. Chopra admitted to Kimmel that she had once imagined being the better half of
This sounds quite familiar to my crush on Govinda and his colourful pants. Not proud, guys.
