Born in Jamshedpur to military doctors, Chopra was raised throughout India before moving to America at the age of 12, without her parents, to live with an aunt. She intended to remain in the U.S. through college, but encountered"toxic" bullying and racism that led her to return to India at age 17."I kind of broke up with America at that point," she says."My heart was hurting.
Within a year, the blossoming beauty was submitted, by her mother and brother, as a candidate for the Miss India beauty pageant. She was accepted, and won, catapulting her to the Miss World competition, which she also won. It was a remarkably fast series of events that meant, as she puts it,"suddenly having to grow up and navigate an industry that is not easy."
Chopra had planned to become an engineer, but now was inundated with offers to appear in Hindi-language movies, and quickly became a star, anchoring both blockbusters and prestige productions, including one for which she won India's equivalent of the best actress Oscar. She also dabbled in singing, which brought her to the attention of American music mogul."Jimmy was a big, big reason and a motivation for me to attempt working in the U.S.," she says.
— a movie with an all-Indian cast that became Netflix's most watched offering, for a time, in 161 countries — she is certainly making progress."I was a big fan of the book," she says, referencing's 2008 Booker Prize-winning novel about class tensions in modern India."I so desperately did not want this movie to be put into a box of independent cinema.
