Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently shared a reflective post on Instagram, looking back at her transformation from childhood to her teenage years. In a heartfelt note accompanying a side-by-side collage, the actress shared two significant images from her life: one as a 9-year-old with a boy-cut hairstyle, which she humorously attributed to her mother, Madhu Chopra, for convenience at school, and the other as a 17-year-old who had just won the Miss India title in 2000. The side-by-side comparison captures her journey through puberty and grooming, highlighting how much she has changed in less than a decade.
In her caption, Priyanka urged her followers to be kind, especially when reflecting on their younger selves. She warned, “Don’t troll my 9-year-old self,” and spoke about the transformative power of growing up, saying, “So wild to think about what puberty and grooming can do to a girl.” She also quoted Britney Spears’ iconic line, “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman,” expressing how it resonated with her at that point in her life when she was stepping into the entertainment world.
Nearly 25 years later, Priyanka reflected on the importance of being kinder to oneself, acknowledging the challenges and growth she has experienced over the years. She concluded with a thoughtful reminder to appreciate one’s journey, saying, “Love yourself, you’ve gone through a lot to be where you are today.”
On the professional front, Priyanka is currently busy filming *Citadel* Season 2 and is awaiting the release of her upcoming projects, *Heads of State* and *The Bluff*.
