With a career spanning more than two decades, Priyanka has consistently rewritten the rules of what it means to be an international star. From Bollywood blockbusters to leading American network dramas, from global action franchises like Citadel to her recent film Heads of State alongside John Cena and Idris Elba, her career is defined by fearless reinvention.
Esquire India’s cover doesn't just celebrate her success—it symbolizes a shift in global culture and representation. As the first South Asian woman to headline a U.S. network drama (Quantico) and one of the few actresses to dominate red carpets from Cannes to the MET Gala, Priyanka continues to redefine boundaries—on and off the screen.
Beyond acting, she stands tall as a fashion force, entrepreneur, and humanitarian. A global face of Bvlgari, a constant presence on TIME’s and Forbes' power lists, and a vocal advocate for diversity and inclusion, Priyanka represents more than stardom—she embodies legacy.
“This cover is not just a first. It’s a door opened for generations to follow.”
The power of Priyanka lies not just in breaking barriers—but ensuring she’s never the last to do so. With every milestone, she paves the way for others, proving she’s not just a star—she’s a movement.
