Priyanka Chopra rose to fame with her Miss World win in 2000, when she was only 18 years old.

It marked a graceful entry into the world of fame, but 24 years later, Chopra has revealed it was not as graceful as it first seemed.

Chopra was back at the venue of her victory, The O2 in London, to watch her husband Nick Jonas perform along with his brothers as The Jonas Brothers.

She recalled the moment she won in a nostalgic Instagram post, sharing an intriguing tidbit.

“Hence if you google the pictures, after I win, I look like I’m doing a namaste in gratitude but I’m actually desperately trying to keep my dress up.😬➡ clearly I survived and it was all well at the end. …”

The concert two days ago also marked a special occasion for her and Jonas’ daughter, Malti Marie, who was able to go up on stage with her dad and uncles.
