Priyanka Chopra became Miss World in 2000 and truly went on to rule the world the moment the crown was placed on her head. So was the opportunity to be a part of the Hindi film world two years later. It’s hard to recall which film was her launchpad, Anil Sharma’s The Hero- Love Story of A Spy or Raj Kanwar’s Andaaz since both films were  launched almost at the same time.

Since Sharma’s spy thriller released a month before, that technically remains her debut. However, it was Abbas-Mustan’s Aitraaz in 2004 when the actress truly arrived. She essayed the Bollywood version of Demi Moore ‘s seductively evil boss that traps her former flame and current employee into a physical liaison. Chopra channeled her oomph to perfection, and portrayed the wickedness of the character with the right doses.
