Priyanka Chopra flaunts her taut waist in an elegant cut-out dress

She spoke earlier this week about a botched surgery.

And after her candid confessions, Priyanka Chopra was out and about in New York both Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

Accompanied by her husband Nick Jonas, 30, the stunner, 40, made his way to the Sona restaurant wearing a cut-out pink dress while the boy bander was smart in a suit.

The next morning, Priyanka went to Good Morning America in Times Square, where she put on another stunning show in a pink dress.

During her outing with her husband, Priyanka showed off her toned stomach and tiny waist in the pink dress with a twisted front.

Sticking to her pink theme, the brunette beauty in a peach dress wowed for her TV appearance with the pretty silk dress with black embellishments

Prior to her outing, Priyanka opened up about the botched facial surgery in the early 2000s that led to her being dubbed “Plastic Chopra.”

The star – who attended the Met Gala with Nick on Monday – got candid during a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Howard Stern Show about having a polyp in her nasal cavity removed that went wrong.

She explained, “This thing happens, and my face looks completely different, and I went into a deep, deep depression.”

Priyanka said she was fired from film projects and even feared the botched surgery would end her career prematurely.

At the time, she was hesitant to go under the knife, but it was her late father Ashok – who happened to be a doctor himself – who persuaded her to have corrective surgery.

She explained, “I was terrified of that, but he said, ‘I’ll be in the room with you.’ He held my hands through it and helped me rebuild my confidence.”

As for regaining her confidence on the big screen, Chopra credited Bollywood director Anil Sharma for helping her get back in front of the camera for sure.

She explained, “I was supposed to play this lead role, and I got shifted to a supporting character. That filmmaker was very nice. He, while the tide was against me, said, “It will be a small part, but give it all.” And I did.’

Chopra elaborated on the botched surgery and its aftermath in her autobiography – titled Unfinished – which was released in February 2021.

At the time, she said it led some haters to call the former beauty pageant queen “Plastic Chopra.” She was a young adult when she noticed a benign growth in her nasal cavity that needed to be surgically removed.

Fortunately, a polypectomy sounded like a fairly routine procedure. Unfortunately not,” she wrote in her book.

The surgeon “accidentally shaved the bridge of my nose and the bridge collapsed.” And the star, who had already become famous in her native India for her looks, was left “shocked”.

“My original nose was gone,” Priyanka said. My face looked very different. I wasn’t myself.’

The bad surgery lost her job – she says in the book that she was fired from two movies. “All the talk about body parts and skin color made me feel devalued and unseen and uncertain about my future,” the Baywatch star said.

“After going through the aftermath of a supposedly simple polyp removal, I knew I wasn’t willing to follow the course he set out for me, even though, as the highly successful expert, he was right,” she added.

“… My difference is my strength. If I looked like other ‘classically beautiful’ girls, I wouldn’t stand out, and more importantly, I wouldn’t be myself.’

Priyanka has had “several corrective surgeries” and has now “got used to this face.”
