Happy birthday, Priyanka Chopra!

Born in 1982 to Indian military doctor parents, Priyanka Chopra was educated in a variety of international boarding schools, including one in Boston. Although she initially was planning to enter a career in criminology, by 2000, Chopra turned a growing sideline as a beauty queen and a model into a full-time career.

In the early 2000s, Chopra swiftly rose to be counted among India's most popular actresses, and during the 2010s, she became increasingly visible on the international stage. In the U.S., she is best known as Alex Parrish in the television crime drama "Quantico" (2015-2018). 

 

In recent years, Chopra has been splitting her time between India and the U.S., making projects for production houses in both countries. In 2018, she married musician Nick Jonas and they have one child together. 
 
Today, July 18, it's Chopra's birthday. She's turning 40, and we're celebrating by posting a few pictures!
