Actress Priyanka Chopra, whose Bareilly to Boston to Bollywood and now Hollywood story serves an inspiration to small town girls in India...
She rang in her special day with a sweet delight as she shared an Instagram Story with the image of a plate which had "Happy Birthday Priyanka" written in chocolate, along with a dessert to go with it.
"And it starts!! Yay...," she wrote, without giving a hint if she was with American singer Nick Jonas. She is yet to officially announce they are dating.
However, international paparazzi has photographed the two making their way out of a popular London restaurant. Priyanka looked chic in a polka dot pair of loose pants teamed with a black top, while Nick kept it casual.
Earlier this week, the actress was out with Nick's brothers Joe and Kevin, and Joe's lady love Sophie Turner.
On the work front, even though "Quantico" -- the American show which gave a boost to her international footprint -- has been cancelled after three seasons, Priyanka has been on a roll.
She wrapped up shooting for 2019's Valentine's Day release "Isn't It Romantic", which also features Liam Hemsworth and Rebel Wilson, with a carefree dance on the streets. This year, she was also seen in American film "A Kid Like Jake".
In India, the former Miss World has also signed new films -- Salman Khan-starrer "Bharat" and writer-director Shonali Bose's next titled "The Sky Is Pink".
Priyanka has also promised fans she will be out with a memoir titled "Unfinished". The popular star, whose foray into the entertainment industry began at the age of 17 when she won Miss India and went on to win Miss World, followed by Bollywood and now Hollywood, hopes to inspire people with the feelings she during the course of what she says has been a "fascinating" journey.
As Unicef goodwill ambassador, she does her bit by working for various causes, and is an active spokesperson for girl child rights. She even went on a field visit to Dhaka, where she met Rohingya refugees.
On social media, she continues to draw followers, scoring over 25 million on Instagram alone.
