“I Am A Big Fan Of Varun Dhawan”, Says Miss Japan 2016, Priyanka Yoshikawa.

After being crowned Miss Japan 2016, Priyanka Yoshikawa was well rewarded with accolades from around the world and had to face criticism too. Priyanka, 22 was called a “haafu”, a racial slur in Japan, given to someone who has one non-Japanese parent.
 

Priyanka Yoshikawa was born to a Bengali father and a Japanese mother. The criticism she had to face along the way did not deter her. She is nothing but thankful for the love and support she has received from all around the globe.

She appreciates all her fans and says, “I am grateful that I am representing my country. I am looking forward to going to Washington DC to represent Japan at the Miss World Crown in November.” 
 

Priyanka has lived in India for a year when she was 9 years old, she also owns a house in Kolkata. She was raised in Tokyo but she can speak fluent Bengali and Hindi. She loves Bollywood films and songs. 

“Oh! I am Big Fan Of Varun Dhawan! I’m (also) a big fan of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra; they are very strong in how they represent themselves. They’re a role model for me.”

She was also asked if she would like to work in Bollywood films to which she said that she would be honoured. She also added that Bollywood is a really huge industry and they have the finest actors in the world.
 

Priyanka Yoshikawa believes that the slogan for Miss World, “Beauty with a purpose” is perfect because she has always wanted to help children and bring change in the world. 

It is very important to sweat the small stuff if you want to go ahead and Yoshikawa is doing a great job. And we would be rooting for her to star in a Bollywood flick some day soon!
