Priyanka Chahar Choudhary: The Rising Star of Indian Television.
From the runways of Jaipur to the glittering sets of Colours TV, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary has built a career that most aspiring actresses only dream about.
Early Life & Family Background.
Born on 13 August 1996, in the pink city of Jaipur, Rajasthan. Priyanka grew up in a disciplined values-driven household. Her father, Mahavir Chahar, served as an Honorary Captain in the Indian Army a background that clearly shaped her bold and fearless personality. Her mother, Shashikala Chahar, has remained her biggest emotional anchor throughout her journey.
She completed her schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya, Jaipur, and later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Arts and Communication from Kanoria PG Mahila Mahavidyalaya. That academic foundation gave her both the creative sensibility and the communication skills that would later define her on-screen charm.
Career Journey.
Priyanka didn’t walk straight into acting she earned her place. Starting out as a model in 2016, she featured in several Punjabi music videos, including tracks by Babbu Maan and Armaan Bedil, building her confidence in front of the camera one frame at a time.
Her television debut came in 2019 with Gathbandhan, where she played Sejal Parekh, followed quickly by a role in Yeh Hai Chahatein as Keerti Jain. These were stepping stones, but her real breakthrough arrived with Colors TV’s Udaariyaan (2021–2024). Her portrayal of the emotionally complex character Tejo Kaur Sandhu turned her into a household name earning her a devoted nationwide fan base.
Bigg Boss 16 & Beyond.
Priyanka entered the Bigg Boss 16 house, and refused to go unnoticed. Her raw authenticity and no-nonsense attitude made her one of the most talked-about contestants of the season. She ultimately finished as the 2nd Runner-Up a result that, arguably, underestimated her actual popularity with fans.
Post-Bigg Boss, her career only accelerated. She collaborated with celebrated musicians including B Praak, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Sukhwinder Singh for music videos that racked up millions of views.
In 2025, she stepped into the fantasy thriller space with a lead role in Naagin 7, proving she isn’t afraid to reinvent herself creatively.
