Priyanka Chopra is a name that is synonymous with anything remotely fabulous, glamourous, and, of course, desi. Over the course of her successful two-decade-long career, she has embodied oomph and sexy in the best of luxury outfits. Sure, Priyanka is still at the top of her game, but she is nowhere near to forgetting her roots. Amidst nailing her movie choices and international red-carpet appearances (with Nick Jonas by her side) she still roots for and supports indie, homegrown brands that she truly believes in.
Recently, the desi girl shared a few brands on her Instagram story with the hashtag #SupportSmallBiz. We laud Instagram of introducing the sticker that shares a preview of the business account. During these tumultuous times, these small businesses are highly benefitted through generous shout-outs like Priyanka's. We urge you to take a look at them, especially if you'd like to get your hands on Priyanka-approved brands.
