New York: The globetrotting queen Priyanka Chopra Jonas has put India on the world map with her journey in Hollywood. She has inspired many to believe in their dreams and make them come true. And now, she supports South Asian representation in the West.
Priyanka recently came out in support of the Pakistani movie Joyland, which has been shortlisted in the Best International Feature category at the Oscars. Joyland, helmed by Saim Sadiq, is the first-ever Pakistani feature to have made the Oscars’ shortlist cut. It was shortlisted alongside the Indian entry, Chhello Show.
#Joyland is truly a joy to watch. Bravo to the entire team for bringing this story to life. It's a must watch@SaimSadiq14 @ApoorvaGC @maggiebriggs17 @Malala @rizwanahmed Alina Khan, Ali Junejo, Sohail Sameer, Sania Saeed, Abdullah Siddiqui, Rasti Farooq

Priyanka also shared two pictures, applauding Indian movie RRR, for its incredible success. She was presumably photographed at one of the various screenings of the film being held in the US. The actor shared photos with filmmaker SS Rajamouli and composer MM Keeravani, writing, “Least I can do to contribute to this incredible Indian film’s journey. Good luck and congratulations to the team.”
