Priyanka Chopra Jonas is one talented actress who enjoys a super successful professional as well as personal life. She knows how to strike the correct balance between the two and that is why her fans look up to her. Not long back, she also completed 20 years in the entertainment industry. Wedding Affair brings to you some of her best films that strengthened her position as a leading actress in the film industry.
Fashion (2008)
This Madhur Bhandarkar directorial is a soapy, campy drama about the rise and fall of a supermodel (played by Priyanka Chopra Jonas), full of crazy clothes and memorable one-liners. Chopra’s portrayal of ambition, success, collapse and redemption won much appreciation and acclaim, along with bagging all the important awards. Fashion is the film that gave Chopra Jonas the fame and name she so well- deserved. This one is a must-watch.
Kaminey (2009)
The Mumbai underworld has captivated the imagination of movie-makers for ages. It’s a huge cosmopolitan city where people can easily disappear and corrupt officials look the other way. Kaminey is one of the best, mixing crime and violence with humour and romance. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays Sweety, the sister of a political thug. Sweety gets pregnant before marriage, fights off her brothers’ goons and defends her boyfriend, who is the good son in a pair of twins mixed up with the drug trade. As a result, the overall effect is Dickensian with a very modern exterior. This Vishal Bhardwaj outing is truly memorable.
7 Khoon Maaf (2011)
One of Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s finest performances, 7 Khoon Maaf is a tale of complicated women and dark comedy. Chopra Jonas’s Susanna works her way through a string of very different husbands, none of whom satisfies her. The scene in which Susanna dances in a graveyard is so convincing and scary that you won’t be able to get it out of your mind. As a result, Priyanka’s performance is focused and fascinating, and the success of the story was largely dependent on her acting chops. This again is a must-watch for all the Priyanka Chopra Jonas fans out there.
Barfi (2012)
Barfi!, a story as sweet as its namesake Indian dessert. This film cemented Chopra Jonas’s capability to shine in roles that are neither typical romantic heroine nor the hero’s eye candy. Therefore, she plays a young autistic woman in a relationship with a deaf and mute man. Priyanka deserves respect for trying something far from the glamorous image she had when she entered the beauty-obsessed film industry.
Mary Kom (2014)
Priyanka Chopra Jonas definitely gives the film her all. She combines strength and tenderness to make Kom, an Olympic medalist, relatable. The story has all the tear-jerking moments of any sports movie — tough coaches, useless officials and community pride. As a result, it’s impossible not to cheer when she punches sexism and the struggles of balancing work, marriage and motherhood square in the face.
Bajirao Mastani (2015)
Set among historical figures from the 18th century, Chopra plays the cheated-on wife of a great warrior. Her dignity is the perfect contrast to her husband’s unhinged lover. Her nuanced performance as Kashibai won her accolades from all over the country. Her acting was applauded by fans and critics alike. Henceforth, once again Chopra Jonas proved that she can outshine even in supporting roles. Don’t give this one a miss.
Wedding Affair wishes the talented diva a very happy birthday.
