Priyanka Chopra Jonas was honoured at the fourth edition of the Red Sea International Film Festival, where she shared both light-hearted moments and profound experiences from her illustrious career. The actress, who is not just an entertainment icon but also a changemaker, received accolades alongside Viola Davis for her immense contributions to the industry.
At the event, Priyanka turned heads in a stunning white asymmetrical dress paired with Christian Louboutin heels, looking every bit the angelic figure she was described as. But it was her witty and playful comment during a conversation about her love for dancing that had the audience in splits. Priyanka humorously called herself the “best baraati” at weddings, saying, “Begaani shaadi mein Abdullah deewana” — referring to being excessively happy at someone else’s wedding. Fans erupted in laughter, with many taking to social media to praise her charm and humor, with one fan calling her “Desi Girl” and others noting how she “aged backwards” with her radiant appearance.
In addition to sharing her comedic take on wedding dancing, Priyanka also reflected on her career. She spoke about her first major action role in Don, sharing that it was her entry into the action genre. The actress revealed she took Tai Chi lessons for her introductory scene, under the guidance of director Farhan Akhtar, to ensure she looked her best in the action-packed film. Priyanka emphasized that it was her craft that mattered the most on set, rather than her relationships with co-actors or directors, as she worked tirelessly for her action scenes.
The Citadel actress also shared poignant memories from the making of Mary Kom, recounting how she joined the set just four days after her father’s passing, despite being urged to take rest. She mentioned that her father would have wanted her to continue working, a testament to her dedication and resilience.
Priyanka, who recently wrapped up shooting for Citadel 2, will soon be seen in The Bluff and Heads of State.
