'Baywatch' Star Has Learned to Love Her Looks

After years of trying to erase her features and heritage, Priyanka Chopra is embracing her Indian background.

“A lot of girls who have a darker skin hear things like, ‘Oh, poor thing, she’s dark. Poor thing, it’ll be hard for her,’” the “Baywatch” star recalled in Glamour’s June issue.

“In India they advertise skin-lightening creams: ‘Your skin’s gonna get lighter in a week.’ I used it [when I was very young],” she said. “Then when I was an actor, around my early twenties, I did a commercial for a skin-lightening cream. I was playing that girl with insecurities. And when I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh s—t. What did I do?’ And I started talking about being proud of the way I looked. I actually really like my skin tone.”
