Priyanka Chopra may have been born in India, but the actress and former Miss World pageant winner spent her teenage years at American high schools, where the Baywatch star revealed she endured countless racist bullying during her younger years.

The 36-year-old spoke with the Associated Press last Friday, May 11, and detailed her unpleasant experiences while studying at American high schools with fellow classmates singling her out because of her skin tone.

I was treated differently because Im brown, Chopra told AP. I had, you know, really racist behavior when I was in high school in 10th grade. I was called Brownie, Curry, [told to] go back on the elephant you came on, and that really affected me when I was a kid and affected my self-esteem.
