Priyanka Chopra made her big Bollywood debut in 2003 with Anil Sharma's The Hero: Love Story of a Spy, and ever since then, has continuously worked tenaciously to carve her own niche and make her own place in this fickle industry where careers are made and ended overnight. She knew she would survive, and she did.

But her journey in this industry goes way before her Bollywood debut. She was crowned the Miss World in 2000, and that was her first step towards fame and fortune. And given her tireless journey in the fraternity, she was recently awarded at the Marrakech Film Festival for her contribution to Cinema. And the lady was expectedly elated and ecstatic.
