Priyanka Chopra has been named among the 50 most powerful women in entertainment by USA Today, joining the likes of Oscar-winning actor Meryl Streep, talk show royalty Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, television producer and Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes and Lady Gaga.
Speaking about her achievement, Priyanka said she considers power “an energy that empowers me to do what I love”. She also made it to Forbes list of 100 most influential people last November.
“It’s the ability to open doors, and turn my dreams into a reality of what I was destined to do. I feel privileged to share this platform with these amazing women who have each pushed through their own challenges and created their own realities and today stand shoulders above everyone in their chosen careers. It does give one a feeling of achievement,” she told Hindustan Times.
