Priyanka Chopra has recently joined the 2016 trend, leaving the fans in nostalgia. The actress joined the throwback trend by posting several unseen photos from 2016 on her official Instagram account.

The post proved that 2016 turned out to be a turning point in both her personal and professional lives. Alongside the pictures, she penned in the caption, “The one where everything happened all at once. 2016."

The actress takes her fans back to the time when her worldwide career really started to take off in a series of pictures, which provided a window into a number of significant events that influenced her global path.

Priyanka's historic debut at the Academy Awards, which signalled her entry onto the global stage, was one of the highlights. Glimpses of her Padma Shri award, one of India's highest civilian honours, which recognises her commitment to the arts, were also included in the pictures.

She also shared a picture from her meal with former US President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama.

With stills from her Bollywood movies like Dil Dhadakne Do and Bajirao Mastani alongside photos from her Hollywood productions Baywatch and Quantico, the post further highlighted Priyanka's career high points from that year.

Priyanka revealed personal details about her life in addition to her professional accomplishments. The memories, which ranged from a colourful Holi festival to the day she got a puppy, captured more subdued pleasures in the midst of a busy year.

A photo of her late grandma (Nani), whom she lost in 2016, was one of the post's most poignant moments and gave the nostalgic trip a very intimate touch.
