Priyanka Chopra began her acting career as a teenager, winning the Miss India World 2000 pageant, which catapulted her to fame. Her first major film role was in the 2003 film "The Hero: Love Story of a Spy," which was a moderate success. However, it was her performances in films like "Aitraaz" (2004) and "Fashion" (2008) that established her as a leading lady in Bollywood.
