Daring to Dream

Daring to Dream

Daring to dream is the act of aiming at a life larger than your circumstances suggest is available — the phrase Megan Suri used at the 2026 Imagemaker Awards when she said Priyanka Chopra taught Indian women ‘how high we should dare to dream.’ Chopra’s own account is humbler: a shy, introverted girl who kept going. Between those two versions — the icon’s example and the woman’s tenacity — sits the whole story the award was honoring.
