Priyanka Chopra: The Punjabi Kudi Who Eats Like There’s No Tomorrow!
So, our very own Priyanka Chopra, the desi girl who’s now a global icon, made quite the headlines last year. She had a rona-dhona moment with hubby Nick Jonas after being body-shamed by a stylist who dared to call her ‘not sample-sized.’ Arey bhai, kuch toh sharam karo! But, yeh pehli baar nahi hai when Priyanka’s been candid about her body and food habits. Flashback to 2008, when she spilled the beans on how she’s genetically blessed with a fast metabolism. Lucky her, na?
‘I Eat Like a True Punjabi Kudi’
Priyanka ne khud kaha, "Fortunately I do not have a tendency to put on weight and can get away eating as much as I want to, which is a blessing in this industry. But even then, I’m not weight-conscious and eat well like a Punjabi kudi (girl). I love eating ghar ka khana (homecooked food) and am non-fussy about food. So no diet plans for me at all. What I do try and avoid is oily food. I don’t have that in excess."
Imagine, she’s munching away happily on ghar ka khana while the rest of Bollywood is nibbling on salads and juices. Wah bhai wah, Priyanka!
Weekend Binge: Chocolates, Cakes, and Tandooris!
Priyanka ne aur bhi reveal kiya, "My daily diet consists of regular food like chapati, vegetables, soups, salads, rice, dal and lots of fruits. Also juices and water are very high on my intake list. In fact, water is a must for everyone, at least 10 glasses a day. I often overshoot that, but it does wonders to your skin. But I often indulge my tastebuds over weekends and they are reserved for binging on chocolates, cakes and tandooris."
Arrey wah, weekends are all about indulgence! Priyanka’s binge list sounds like a dream, right? Chocolates, cakes, and tandooris – these are the magic words for any foodie.
Body-Shaming Drama: When Priyanka Was Called ‘Not Sample Sized’
Last March, Priyanka revealed how she was body-shamed right before an important event. Yaar, kuch logon ka dimaag kharaab hai! She shared this during a conversation with Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke at the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW 2023).
"I’ve been told many things that are difficult to hear. I arrive feeling crappy because somebody told me yesterday I wasn’t ‘sample sized.’ I was hurt and I discussed it with my family and I cried to my husband and my team and I felt really bad about the fact I’m not sample-sized and that that’s a problem, apparently. Most of us are not. ‘Sample-sized’ is a size 2. Who’s a size 2? I don’t see a lot of hands," Priyanka said as she looked to the audience.
Well, Priyanka, you’ve got the whole world behind you, cheering you on! 💪
Upcoming Projects: From Bollywood to the Caribbean!
Priyanka, who just turned 42 (bole toh young and fabulous), is all set to dazzle us with her upcoming movies. She’ll be seen in Heads of State alongside John Cena and Idris Elba. Not just that, she’s also starring in The Bluff, a 19th-century Caribbean drama where she plays a former pirate. Wah bhai wah, kya range hai!
Kiran’s Gyan:
Bollywood mein ek hi rule hai – jo dikhta hai, wohi bikta hai. Lekin Priyanka jaisi asli Punjabi kudis, who eat their hearts out and still rule the world, are a rare gem. So next time someone tries to body-shame you, remember – unka dimaag khali hai aur tumhara plate full!
Yeh thi aaj ki Bollywood ki kahani, brought to you by your very own Khabree Kiran. Until next time, stay filmy and fabulous! 🎬🍿
