Yukta Mookhey and Priyanka Chopra both made India proud on the global stage of the Miss World pageant. The former won the title in 1999, and just a year later, Priyanka was also crowned as Miss World. It was a proud moment for India as the title was won back-to-back by the nation’s beauties. Even in the film industry they debuted one after another, with Yukta in 2001 and Priyanka in 2002, that too coincidentally in Tamil films. However, recently Yukta has made people wonder that perhaps there is no love lost between the two models-turned-actresses.
Yukta Mookhey calls Priyanka Chopra a junior and says ‘nothing’ to appreciate about her
Yukta Mookhey, who won the Miss World title a year before Priyanka Chopra, was asked in an interview with Filmymantra about a trait that she appreciates about the latter actress. To this, Yukta shockingly replied and said, ‘Nothing’. The reason she cited for this answer was that, Priyanka was her junior and was the one who was taking advice from Yukta. She feels that there were things for which she guided Priyanka. Yukta also said that the Barfi actress was not the right person about whom questions should be asked to her. The model said in the interview:
“Nothing. Because she is junior to me. She was the one taking advice from me. Because she was in the following year after me. I personally feel that there were things that I guided her for, and her parents were sort of wanting to talk to my parents. I don’t think she is the right person for you to ask me at this moment.”
