“Throwback to the early 2000s, around 2001, 2002. When I first started working in movies in Mumbai, I truly did not know how much of a love affair I would have with the stage and especially dancing on it,” the actress wrote in the caption.
Currently in Australia, Priyanka looked back on her school days, where she was actively involved in extracurricular stage activities. “When I was in school, I was always doing extracurriculars on stage, but there was something that just hits different when I’m performing on songs from my movies sung by the most incredible singers in India and being able to deliver entertainment to a live audience. It is intoxicating,” she added.
She also shared that performing on stage has made her feel especially connected to her husband, American pop star Nick Jonas. “It’s the closest I’ve felt to doing what my husband does every day, LOL.. #rockstarlife But looking back at some of these videos, I can’t help but get nostalgic about how the young me would go for multiple rehearsals over days, lean on the incredible choreographers and dancers that sculpted me into becoming more and more confident on stage and on set,” she said.
Having made her Bollywood debut with 'The Hero: Love Story of a Spy' in 2003, Priyanka has now celebrated 21 years in the acting industry. In her post, she expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of her journey.
“Thank you to everyone who, without even knowing, contributed to my journey in such a big way,” she said.
Reflecting on her throwback video, Priyanka added, “This is just a throwback to a girl in her 20s, shaping the woman that I am today. I’m proud of her. And grateful for her dedication and hustle. Take the time to be proud of your younger self. You are you today because of your tenacity yesterday. PS: old videos, sorry for the pixelation.”
