Priyanka Chopra won the title of Miss World in London in 2000. Since then, the Bollywood actress turned Hollywood star has continued to excel. From the start, Priyanka had her own rules and was confident she would achieve more than just being a dancing and crying actress in Hindi films.
Her notable roles in Barfi, Bajirao Mastani, Don, Fashion, and Mary Kom show her commitment to quality work. Priyanka Chopra has consistently shone brightly, being one of the few Indian beauties to win the Miss World title. However, it might surprise you to learn that the question for which she won the title was actually answered incorrectly.
A recently surfaced video shows Priyanka Chopra’s final answer during the Miss World Pageant 2000. In the last round, she was asked, “Who do you think is the most successful woman today and why?” Despite giving a heartfelt answer, it was incorrect. Priyanka mentioned Mother Teresa, expressing admiration for her kindness and humanitarian work. However, Mother Teresa had passed away in 1997, making Priyanka’s answer factually wrong.
In 2022, Priyanka Chopra’s competitor, Leilani McConkey, claimed that her victory was rigged. Leilani, Miss Barbados 2000 and now a YouTuber, made serious allegations against Priyanka Chopra and Zee TV, accusing bias and pre-determined winners. He shared his views in a podcast video on his YouTube channel, suggesting that Miss World 2000 and 2022, both being from India, were planned due to India’s Zee TV being a sponsor of the show.
