Why Priyanka Chopra Is The Ultimate Award-Winning Badass

Text by Wyanet Vaz

From hustling on stage with John Stamos (uncle Jesse) to unapologetically gobbling down a burger before hitting the red carpet… the Quantico girl makes big news

Move over Bollywood. Last night Priyanka Chopra became the first South Asian actress to win a People’s Choice Award in Los Angeles. She bagged ‘Favourite actress in a new series’ award for her lead role in the popular series Quantico.

Watch as she shares the stage with John Stamos and gives her acceptance speech here:

Dressed in a sequinned Vera Wang dress, she played it safe with an updo and finished her look with on-point smokey eyes.

Just before hitting the red carpet she showed us that burgers are not all that bad!

And finally, her undying spirit and heart-warming tweet to her fans is exactly why she made it to the cover of our Power Issue 2015 (read the cover story here).
