On the left is me at my awkward pre teen era with a Boy cut hairstyle so it wouldn't be cumbersome at school. (Thanks ma Madhu Chopra ) I went from a katori cut to this. so it was a win. "

The second picture, Priyanka revealed, is from the time she was 17 and had just won Miss India in 2000. She wrote, "And on the right is me at 17, having just won Miss India in the year 2000 and basking in the glory of hair, make up and wardrobe... Both pictures taken less than a decade apart. As Britney Spears very articulately put it... I'm not a girl, not yet a woman. That was exactly how I felt then, entering the big world of entertainment."

"Almost 25 years later.. still figuring it out. Though , aren't we all? Looking back at my younger self often makes me kinder to myself today. Think about your younger self and how much she has done for you. Love yourself, you've gone through a lot to be where you are today. What did your younger self do for you? Post your #growupchallenge. Thank you to who made this side by side picture and sent me," an excerpt from her post read.

IIFA 2024: The One Where OG Bobby Deol Dances To His Song Jamal Kudu. Watch

Jamal Kudu fever isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Guess who just jumped on the viral dance bandwagon? None other than the OG Bobby Deol himself. After snagging the Best Performance in a Negative Role award for Animal, Bobby hit the dance floor, nailing the hook step from his song -complete with a glass of water balanced on his head. For those wondering, Jamal Kudu is a hit Iranian track, recreated for Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal, marking Abrar's (Bobby's) grand entry in the film.

In an earlier interview with Bollywood Spy, Bobby Deol opened up about his entry scene and also revealed how he got the idea of using a glass while dancing. He said, "It is crazy, people are keeping a glass on their dog's head and dancing. Somebody had worn the same suit as mine. It's just overwhelming to see all of that. He (Sandeep Reddy Vanga) had made me listen to the music beforehand. He has got a great sense of music. He has got a great sense of everything about filmmaking. He found the song from somewhere and told me 'I will play this in your introduction.' When we started shooting, the choreographer said, 'You do it.' I was like, 'What will I do?' I started dancing and he told me, 'No, No. Don't do it like Bobby Deol.' Then Saurabh, who plays my brother, I told him, 'Can you do and show? How would you do it?"

When asked about the inspiration behind his Jamal Kudu dance, Bobby Deol said, "Then I suddenly remembered the time when I was small and we used to go to Punjab. I remember how we used to get drunk and keep glasses on our heads. I never understood why we did it. It suddenly came to my mind and I did that. Sandeep liked it."

On the work front, Bobby is gearing up for Apne 2 alongside Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Karan Deol, as well as a role in Aryan Khan's directorial debut.
