Priyanka’s First Modelling Shoot

Priyanka
Chopra
took
the
world
along
on
a
stroll
down
memory
lane
as
she
shared
pictures
from
her
younger
years
on
social
media.

A
look
at
PeeCee’s
life,
through
her
eyes
and
words.

‘There’s
so
much
more
that
happened,
but
that
will
require
another
post
and
another
break
between
shots.
See
you
soon
with
some
more
nostalgia.’
