Priyanka Chopra Wonders If Chashni Will Darken Her Mehendi
Priyanka also shared another social media story showing a closer look at her mehendi. This time, she raised a question about a traditional method used to help achieve a darker stain.
“The question is, will the chashni work? IYKYK,” she wrote.
