Priyanka attended several schools during her early education, including La Martiniere Girls School in Lucknow, St. Maria Goretti College in Bareilly, Newton North High School in Newton, Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Army School in Bareilly. 

She completed her higher secondary education at Jai Hind College in Mumbai, graduating with a qualification of 12th standard.

• Due to her parents' military careers, Priyanka Chopra's family moved frequently, living in places like Delhi, Chandigarh, Ambala, Ladakh, Lucknow, Bareilly, and Pune. Chopra fondly recalls her time in Leh and considers Bareilly her hometown, maintaining strong connections there.
• At 13, she moved to the United States to live with her aunt and attended schools in Massachusetts and Iowa, where she participated in theater and studied Western classical music. During her teenage years, she faced racial bullying for being Indian. 

• After returning to India, Priyanka Chopra finished her senior year at Army Public School in Bareilly.
• During this time, she won a local beauty contest called May Queen, gaining a lot of attention, and her family even added security at home.
• Her mother then entered her in the 2000 Femina Miss India contest, where Priyanka came second and won the Miss India World title.
• She went on to win Miss World 2000, becoming the fifth Indian to do so. After this, she left college to pursue film offers.

• She then played a lead role in “Waqt: The Race Against Time,” a critical and commercial success. Chopra received praise for her roles in “Yakeen” and “Bluffmaster!” but faced mixed reviews for “Barsaat.” “Bluffmaster!” ended the year on a positive note for her with box-office success.
• In 2006, she appeared in Rakesh Roshan's superhero film “Krrish” alongside Hrithik Roshan, playing a television journalist who falls in love with the protagonist. The film was a major success, becoming the second-highest-grossing film in India that year. However, her next release, “Aap Ki Khatir”, a romantic comedy, did not fare well, and her performance received mixed reviews, with critics finding her character inconsistent.
• In 2006, Priyanka Chopra's final release was “Don,” an action-thriller remake starring Shah Rukh Khan. She played Roma, a woman seeking revenge for her brother's death. Chopra underwent martial arts training and performed her own stunts for the role.
