Shashi Tharoor: Senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has lauded Priyanka Chopra saying the Bollywood actor has conquered a stage on which Indians rarely appear.
In a heartwarming nod to Indian excellence abroad, Tharoor praised Priyanka Chopra Jonas as the “desi girl” who has triumphantly conquered the global stage. Calling her achievements historic, Tharoor complimented Priyanka Chopra Jonas for her role in rewriting narratives for desis worldwide.
Priyanka and Tharoor were speakers at the India Conference 2026 at Harvard University in the United States.
The Journey Of Priyanka Chopra Jonas
The journey of Priyanka Chopra Jonas from Miss World 2000 to a heavyweight in Hollywood circles has been nothing short of a miracle. Hailing from Jamshedpur, Priyanka won the prestigious pageant crown at the age of 18 before making her way into Hindi cinema.
She delivered hits such as Bajirao Mastani and Mary Kom and went on to land the lead in ABC’s Quantico in 2015 to become the first South Asian to headline an American network television series. She then dazzled in Baywatch and achieved rare honours in The Matrix Resurrections.
The “wins” of the desi girl have amplified “Incredible India” beyond tourism advertisements. Priyanka has advocated for the education of girl child via UNICEF. A vocal globalization champion, Tharoor sees the efforts of Priyanka as a proof that Indians are not just to participate but to dominate world scenes.
The Bollywood actor is all set to make her comeback to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi where she would be seen opposite Mahesh Babu.
