"My Body Has Changed As I've Gotten Older," Says Priyanka Chopra

"I try to be myopic about feeling good about other things, even on days that I don't feel the best about my body," the actress said

Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is known her progressive statements, opened up about how she deals with the scrutiny that she receives on her body image in a recent interview with Yahoo Life. Accepting that the changes in her body do affect her, the 38-year-old actress said that she has had to adapt to it "mentally as well." Talking candidly about her body image with Yahoo Life, Priyanka Chopra said: "Well, I won't lie that I don't get affected by it. My body has changed as I've gotten older, just as everyone's body does, and I've had to adapt mentally as well with like, OK, this is what it looks like now, this is what I look like now, it's alright, and catering to my now body and not my 10- or 20-years-ago body." The former Miss World further shared that her mantra to feel confident about her body is to have a "sense of confidence," in what she brings to the table instead of how she looks like. "I feel like that really takes finding a sense of confidence in what you bring to the table outside of what you look like. I always think about, how am I contributing? What is my purpose? Am I doing good with the tasks that I've been given for the day?" Priyanka Copra said.
