Priyanka Chopra is indeed the queen of sass in Bollywood and Hollywood right now. Not only is she witty, she is also very honest about herself and her work. She has never shied away from the fact that despite being a sought-after actress abroad, she's still a desi at heart.

However, time and again, the Quantico actress has been slammed for her "American" accent and her body, amongst other things. But that has never stopped her from being the person that she is.

What makes her so awesome is the fact that she has repeatedly talked about being criticized for the way she looks. She has also spilled the beans about how show business is a fiercely competitive industry where looking glamorous at all times is a compulsion. But Priyanka has never let all the critricism and body shaming get to her, simply because she loves herself.

Here are 5 things that we think makes Priyanka Chopra the ultimate body positive ambassador.When She Was Brutally Honest About Body Critics In Bollywood

The diva recently co-hosted The View with women anchors of the show and opened up about people's perception about looking a certain way. She narrated an incident about body shaming that left her pretty shocked. She said: "Before I became an actor, I met a producer about the possibility of acting. I was a beauty pageant winner at that time, Miss World. And he said that everything was wrong about me. He said my nose was not proportionate, the shape of my body was not proportionate (sic)."Also read: Priyanka Chopra is a winner yet again at People's Choice Awards. Though we wish she dressed better

Who didn't notice the slight paunch our dear Piggy Chops sported on the red carpet of Golden Globes awards this year? When she posed for photo ops, her paunch was very visible in her golden gown. But did she care? NO. She walked with the same confidence she would with abs!

Actresses nowadays go to great lengths to achieve the perfect bod. From starving themselves to wearing spanx, they leave no stone unturned to get rid of any extra wieght. Priyanka knows that accepting your body the way it is, is the way to go.

So ladies, if you are worried about your muffin top bulging at the fag end of winter, take some inspiration from our desi girl.

When She Was Okay About Her Fluctuating FigureOn The View, the actress was very honest about the fact that human body is how it is and it would fluctuate. She did not feel embarrassed about admitting the fact people resort to body shaming once someone puts on a couple of pounds. She also revealed that if someone happens to be in showbiz, then they are more likely to be body shamed. "Christmas happens to all of us. I have Holi, I have Diwali, and my body fluctuates and I am fine with it."

This wasn't the first time the diva revealed that she has undying love for that particular junk food. She had even posted a photo of herself indulging in the bready goodness before going on a red carpet. In an interview to People Magazine, the 34-year-old actress said:  "I love food and I'm super blessed. My first thing when I come into L.A. is In-N-Out. I have Animal Style(burger) all the way."

"I always have it before a red carpet, because you never know when you'll get food right? These things (award shows) last long!" Priyanka added.

When She Revealed She Used To Be A Gawky TeenagerIf you thought the actress was always this gorgeous, then you are wrong. She was just like us when she was a teen and had to wait for the puberty to hit her in the beautiful way that it did.

During a chat show in 2016, she revealed that she has been the victim of body shaming since her teenage days. She said: "I was a skinny, gawky teenager and I had crazy frizzy hair that I didn't know how to control. People made me feel awkward because I didn't look like everyone else."

"Later I figured out what looks best on myself," she added.

See? She wasn't born perfect, she realized what her strong suits were and focused on them!

So ladies, you are perfect just the way you are. Accept yourself and you'll see that the way you perceive yourself will change with it. We are not saying you'll end up looking Priyanka, but you will feel more gorgeous!
