Priyanka Chopra kicked off the photo dump with a series of sun-soaked visuals. In one shot, she was seen lazing by the pool wrapped in a cozy robe, soaking up the Hyderabad sun. Another image captured the actress posing confidently in a chic blue bikini, radiating superstar energy. The post didn't just grab the attention of her millions of followers; industry heavyweights like Ektaa Kapoor were quick to chime in, with the producer commenting, “Such a superstar.”
Perhaps the most talked-about part of her update was a video of Priyanka savouring a plate of kachi keri (raw mango) sprinkled with red chili powder. The sight of the actress enjoying the classic Indian summer treat resonated deeply with her fanbase. One fan pointedly commented, “Not PC with her Desi snacks!” while others were delighted to see her maintaining her roots. The snack plate, perched right by the pool, served as the perfect bridge between her global lifestyle and her Indian heritage.
The post also offered a heartwarming look at Priyanka’s family life. Despite the distance or the demands of work, family remains central to her routine. One sweet photograph showed her daughter, Malti Marie, cuddling up to her grandmother, Madhu Chopra. Another highlighted the modern reality of the Jonas-Chopra household: a video call. In a touching snippet, Malti was seen helping her father, Nick Jonas, cool down as they spoke to Priyanka from the United States.
While the weekend was for relaxing, the location – Hyderabad – was all about work. Priyanka is currently filming for SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated action-adventure, ‘Varanasi’. The film, which is co-written by Rajamouli's father, V. Vijayendra Prasad, is being described as a "globetrotting adventure" deeply rooted in Indian mythology.
Scheduled for a massive Sankranthi 2027 release, the film boasts a stellar ensemble cast. Priyanka steps into the role of Mandakini, starring alongside Mahesh Babu (who plays Rudhra), Prithviraj Sukumaran (as Kumbha), and Prakash Raj. ‘Varanasi’ marks a significant milestone for Priyanka, representing her grand return to Indian cinema after a decade-long hiatus.
Even as she dives into the world of ‘Varanasi’, Priyanka’s international career shows no signs of slowing down. The actress had a busy 2025, starring in ‘Heads of State’, executive-producing the documentary ‘The Cycle of Love’, and making a cameo in ‘A Very Jonas Christmas Movie’. Most recently, she played a pirate in the film ‘The Bluff’, a project she also produced. Fans can also look forward to seeing her return to the small screen in the upcoming second season of the Prime Video spy thriller, ‘Citadel’.
