Priyanka Chopra (born 1982) is an Indian film actress, singer, and songwriter. The winner of the Miss World pageant of 2000, through her successful film career Chopra has become one of Bollywood's highest-paid actresses and one of the most popular celebrities in India. She has won a National Film Award for Best Actress and Filmfare Awards in four categories. She accepted offers to join the Indian film industry, which came as a result of her pageant wins, making her acting debut in the Tamil film Thamizhan in 2002. The following year, she starred in The Hero, her first Hindi film release, and followed it with the box-office hit Andaaz. She subsequently earned wide critical recognition for the role of a seductress in the 2004 thriller Aitraaz. By 2006, Chopra had established herself as a leading actress of Hindi cinema with starring roles in the highly successful films Krrish and Don. After receiving mixed reviews for a series of unsuccessful films, she received critical acclaim for her portrayal of unconventional characters, including a troubled model in the 2008 drama Fashion, a feisty Marathi woman in the 2009 caper thriller Kaminey, a serial killer in the 2011 neo-noir 7 Khoon Maaf, and an autistic woman in the 2012 romantic comedy Barfi! In 2012, she released her first music single "In My City". Her second single "Exotic" debuted in 2013, and charted in countries such as the United States and Canada. (Full article...)

  • Support - Great article, and should be good to have a non-Western pop culture figure featured on the main page. Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 05:14, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment we should definitely not have two Indian cinema articles in a row (see below). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Then this is the one that should be moved to another date within this time frame. It will still have 4 points. Sholay should stay where it is because this is the anniversary date of its release. BollyJeff | talk 13:26, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will move it to 14 september as Barfi! (most important film of her career) released on that date.—Prashant 16:07, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, well there was something I had in mind for the 14th, but this may be better. Once the date range rolls over we can formally discuss it, I guess. Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 19:57, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean Aug 14 or Sep 14? How do we move this anyway; this page only goes to Sep 13? BollyJeff | talk 20:12, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We don't move it, at least not until the date range moves up to include 9/14. And 14 September was the date I had in mind (fifth anniversary of The Hunger Games' publication). Evanh2008 (talk|contribs) 20:43, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
