Birthdays make one realize that while they may be getting older with each passing day, they're also getting wiser . Today, this realization dawns upon two celebrities of Bollywood who have embellished the silver screen with their commanding presence - Priyanka Chopra and Sukhwinder Singh.

 

Priyanka Chopra was born on July 18th, 1982, to Army physicians Ashok and Madhu Chopra in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand. She has a younger brother named Siddharth, while actress Parineeti Chopra is her cousin. Interestingly, actresses Meera Chopra and Mannara are cited to be Chopra's cousins, but the latter has always denied the relation. Chopra grew up in various regions of India thanks to her parents' occupation and considered it a welcome challenge. She moved to the United States at the age of thirteen and stayed there for about three years before moving back to India. From a very young age, she was actively involved in the co-curricular activities in her schools.

 

After winning the May Queen beauty pageant in Bareilly in 2000, she went on to win the title of Femina Miss India World 2000 and was consequently crowned as Miss World 2000 and Miss World Continental Queen of Beauty - Asia and Oceania. After this, the stunning diva forayed into movies with the Tamil film Thamizhan (2002). She went on to make her Bollywood debut with Anil Sharma's spy thriller The Hero (2003) opposite Sunny Deol as a parallel lead. She then did a few other movies until she garnered critical acclamation for her portrayal of the antagonist Soniya Roy in the Abbas-Mustan's thriller Aitraaz (2004). There was no looking back for Chopra after this as she starred in various critical as well as commercial successes like Krrish (2006), Don (2006), Fashion (2008), Dostana (2008), Agneepath (2012), Barfi! (2012), Mary Kom (2014) and Dil Dhadakne Do (2015).

 

Chopra's music career has been on and off the charts since a long time, but it finally gained momentum with her first international single in 2012 - "In My City". The song got mixed reviews worldwide, but opened a new dimension for the actress. Her other musical stints include the song "Exotic", "I Can't Make You Love Me" and the Bollywood songs like "Chaoro" from Mary Kom (2014) and the title track of Dil Dhadakne Do (2015). Chopra will soon be seen as one of the protagonists in the American thriller television series Quantico, as well as in the Bollywood flicks Bajirao Mastani and Gangaajal 2.

 

Born on July 18th, 1971, Sukhwinder Singh is a singer who has proved the mettle of his voice over the years. After his debut with Subhash Ghai's action film Karma (1986) and a small stint in Rajeev Nagpal's Khilaaf (1991), Singh took a sabbatical to groom himself. He later returned and lent his voice for various songs, one of them being A.R. Rahman's composition "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from Dil Se (1998). He was lauded by all and sundry for the song and the rest, as they say, is history. Singh has various songs to his credit from movies like Taal (1998), Biwi No. 1 (1999), Zubeidaa (2001), Yaadein (2001), Chalte Chalte (2003), Paheli (2005), Fashion (2008), Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008), Dabangg (2010), Band Baaja Baaraat (2010), Agneepath (2012), Happy New Year (2014), Kill Dill (2014), Dil Dhadakne Do(2015) and the list continues.

 

Here is a small playlist of the two Bollywood celebrities to commemorate their birthday:
