Priyanka Chopra makes it to Forbes list of 100 most powerful women in 2018

Perched on a table in a patterned mini dress, the actor struck a confident pose for Forbes.

Owing to her huge success and earnings from movie roles both in India and abroad, especially after becoming the first South Asian to ever headline an American network drama series, Quantico, Forbes wrote, “A crossover star, Chopra makes the cut thanks to earnings from ABC’s Quantico as well as movie roles in Hollywood and her native India. This summer’s Baywatch reboot, in which she played antagonist Victoria Leeds, failed to make a splash, grossing just $177.4 million worldwide on a $69 million budget. Still, the 35-year-old continues to pocket cash from advertisements for the likes of Pantene, LYF smartphones and Nirav Modi, among others”.

The list also features a list of powerful women such as Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour and Queen Elizabeth II. In the number one spot is Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel.
