Aug 4 2018 by Kathryn Mayer

To some, Priyanka Chopra may be best known for her recently announced real-life role as the future Mrs. Nick Jonas as well as her memorable position as BFF to Meghan Markle (you know, the Duchess of Sussex). Rest assured, though, that Chopra is one accomplished actor. After winning the Miss World crown in 2000, the Indian actress moved on to film and has actually been acting since 2002.

Having appeared on both the Forbes Power Women list and Time's 100 Most Influential People list, Chopra starred in nearly 40 Bollywood films before making her Hollywood debut in the ABC TV drama Quantico. Here's a look at some of her most memorable roles!

Andaaz (2003)

Chopra's film debut paired her with another beauty queen — Miss Universe 2000, Lara Dutta — in a Bollywood musical with a classic plot. Two women are in love with the same guy, so will he choose the sexy new temptress or his familiar best friend since childhood?
