Priyanka Chopra recently took a trip down memory lane and shared a side-by-side comparison of her younger self on Instagram. The first image showed the actress at nine years old, sporting a boy-cut hairstyle, while the second captured her at 17, shortly after winning the Miss India title in 2000. The actress used this reflection to comment on the power of puberty and grooming, acknowledging the incredible transformation she underwent during her teenage years.
In the heartfelt post, Priyanka humorously warned her followers not to troll her younger self.
She reminisced about her “awkward pre-teen era” when her mother, Dr. Madhu Chopra, gave her a short haircut to make school life easier. The star added this with her more glamorous self after winning Miss India, thanking hair, makeup, and wardrobe for the transformation.
Her note read, “Warning: Don’t troll my 9-year-old self. So wild to think about what puberty and grooming can do to a girl. On the left is me at my awkward pre-teen era with a “Boy cut” hairstyle so it wouldn’t be cumbersome at school. (Thanks ma @drmadhuakhourichopra ) and on the right is me at 17 ,having just won Miss India in the year 2000 and basking in the glory of hair, make up and wardrobe.. Both pictures taken less than a decade apart.”
Quoting pop icon Britney Spears, Priyanka related to the sentiment of being “not a girl, not yet a woman,” reflecting on how she felt entering the entertainment industry at a young age. Now, almost 25 years later, the actress continues to grow and evolve, encouraging her fans to be kinder to themselves by acknowledging how much they’ve overcome.
Her post further read, “Though, aren’t we all? Looking back at my younger self often makes me kinder to myself today. Think about your younger self and how much she has done for you. Love yourself, you’ve gone through a lot to be where you are today. What did your younger self do for you? #mondaymusings Thank you to who made this side by side picture and sent me.”
On the work front, Priyanka Chopra is currently filming Citadel Season 2.
