Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who has been named among the world's most powerful women in Forbes magazine's 2017 list, says she feels honoured.

Desi girl is ranked at 97th spot in the list while the number one post is enjoyed by Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel followed by UK Prime Minister Theresa May and businesswoman (Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation ) Melinda Gates respectively.

The 'Baywatch' star shared a clipping of the list on her Instagram profile: "Honoured to stand alongside these amazing trailblazers, who show us everyday that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to and that it's ok to stay true to who you are. Here's to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. Power women, Worlds 100 most powerful women. Forbes," Priyanka captioned the image.

This is not the first time Priyanka has featured in a Forbes magazine list. In September, the "Quantico" star featured among the highest paid TV actresses.

The actress' friends and colleagues from the Hindi film industry like Rajkummar Rao, Dia Mirza and Tara Sharma Saluja congratulated her on her achievement.


Forbes placed Priyanka on the 15th spot on the list of Most Powerful Women In Entertainment And Media, a list which has names like Beyonce, Taylor Swift and JK Rowling among others.

On the work front, the 35-year-old is currently shooting for the third season of American thriller television series 'Quantico'.
