Priyanka Chopra hosted a pre-Oscar event honouring South Asian talent on Thursday.
Priyanka Chopra has been a part of the Oscars in more than just one way.
To begin with, the actress and her husband Nick Jonas announced the list of nominees for last year's Academy Awards.
The pre-Oscar event was co-hosted by Priyanka Chopra, Kumail Nanjiani and Mindy Kaling, among others.

The 94th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, March 27. This will be for the first time since the pandemic that the Oscars will be held in person.
In her speech, Priyanka said, "Each and every one of you is here today because you are excellent in what you do. I came ten years ago and started looking for work in America.''
“I'm highly proud to be rubbing shoulders with all of you, to be encouraging you," she said.
