Priyanka Chopra Hails Namrata Shirodkar 'A Queen'

Priyanka Chopra has publicly lauded Namrata Shirodkar, referring to her as 'a queen' following the online circulation of a vintage video. The resurfaced clip features Shirodkar during the Miss Universe 1993 competition, where she represented India and secured a spot among the top six finalists. Chopra shared the video on her social media, celebrating Shirodkar's enduring grace. This gesture highlights a mutual respect between two accomplished former beauty queens, as Chopra herself earned the Miss World title in 2000. Both women launched their careers in Bollywood after winning Miss India titles, with Shirodkar winning in 1993 and Chopra in 2000. Shirodkar later prioritized family life, marrying actor Mahesh Babu in 2005 and stepping away from films. She has two children, Gautam Krishna Ghattamaneni and Sitara Ghattamaneni. Chopra, meanwhile, has continued to build a successful acting career.
