That Priyanka Chopra Jonas is a global icon today is something that does not call for any kind of discussion. It’s a fact. Period. And she has slogged her way day and night sweating it out to reach the position where she is today. The best part about this lady is that, even though she is at a dizzying height today, she still has not forgotten her roots and her basics.

Time and again, Priyanka Chopra Jonas has always shared some gems on her social media account. This time round, she decided to walk the nostalgic path and shared a photograph of hers from her younger days. She went on to share with her ‘Insta-Fam’ (Instagram Family) a glimpse of how she looked when she was just nine years old.

She captioned the post as, ‘So wild to think about what puberty and grooming can do to a girl. On the left is me in my awkward pre teen era with a “Boy cut” hairstyle so it wouldn’t be cumbersome at school. (Thanks ma @drmadhuakhourichopra ) I went from a “katori cut” to this. so it was a win’.

She added, ‘And on the right is me at 17 ,having just won Miss India in the year 2000 and basking in the glory of hair, makeup and wardrobe.. Both pictures were taken less than a decade apart. As Britney Spears very articulately put it.. I’m not a girl, not yet a woman. That was exactly how I felt then, entering the big world of entertainment’.

The former beauty queen turned global actress added, ‘Almost 25 years later.. still figuring it out. 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’.

She summed it up stating, ‘What did your younger self do for you? Post your #growupchallenge #mondaymusings Thank you to who made this side-by-side picture and sent me’.
