Global superstar Priyanka Chopra, who will soon be seen in SS Rajamouli’s upcoming film Varanasi, is once again trending on social media. This time, not for a film or red-carpet moment, but for a rare throwback photo from her school days in the USA. The picture, shared by one of her former classmates, has sent fans into a frenzy, revealing a sweet glimpse of Priyanka long before she became a worldwide icon. Although Priyanka Chopra was born in Bareilly and is deeply connected to her Indian roots, she spent several years of her early life in the United States.
