    If it wasn’t for her eyes, she wouldn’t be considered “the most beautiful woman”. Personally, I think she kinda resembles a pigeon and there are far more pretty Indian girls with brown eyes that I believe are prettier, like Frieda Pinto. I guess since not that many Indian people have her eyes, they put her on a pedestal

      Maybe an atypical Greek, she does look like some Southern Europeans.

        I find it odd how people specify that she doesn’t look indian when realistically she does, look at her eye shape, her nose, her lips, her jaw, if she didn’t have those light eyes you wouldn’t even debate the topic, I will accept she could pass for maybe Pakistani or an Iranian-indian mix but she still looks south/central Asian, she hardly looks any type of European, even west Asian is pushing it. priyanka chopra looks less indian than her yet has darker hair, eyes and skin and I don’t hear people saying she doesn’t look indian. people put this woman on a pedestal just because of her eyes, people say she’s so beautiful and she doesn’t look indian, take those eyes off her she would be virtually nothing in the fame industry and no one would care or say that she’s so attractive. personally I don’t find her attractive at all her symmetry and facial features aren’t pleasing to look it and are out of proportion/undefined, I will admit she has very pretty eyes and she’s very lucky to have them but that’s all she’s got and that’s all she’s really known for; “the indian woman with the light eyes”, and I’m not just being bias saying she’s unattractive because she’s indian even though in general I will admit I don’t see Indians as a very attractive ethnicity I do think people like priyanka chopra are attractive and I had a friend of full Bangladeshi descent who I thought was attractive. but to summarise; this woman’s so over rated!
