Here’s why Priyanka Chopra quotes Britney Spears, says ‘I’m not a girl, not yet a woman.’

Actor Priyanka Chopra recently took a trip down memory lane, sharing childhood photos on Instagram and reflecting on her journey into the world of entertainment. In a post on Monday, the global star shared a collage of two images: one of her as a child and another as a teenager shortly after winning the Miss India title in 2000.

In her caption, Chopra humorously warned fans not to troll her younger self, posting a picture of her at age nine with a “boy cut” hairstyle. She described the pre-teen era as awkward but credited her mother for making sure it was manageable for school. The second photo showed Chopra at 17, freshly crowned Miss India and embracing her new image with hair, makeup, and wardrobe.

She shared how she still feels like she’s figuring life out, even 25 years later. The actor encouraged fans to be kinder to their younger selves, acknowledging the challenges they've overcome.
