Priyanka Chopra was honored with an honorary award at the Red Sea Film Festival 2024, held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on December 12. The award was presented by Hollywood star Sarah Jessica Parker, celebrating Chopra’s contributions to global cinema.
Accompanied by her husband, Nick Jonas, Chopra dazzled on the red carpet in a stunning silver gown designed by Oscar de la Renta. The couple’s appearance drew attention, with fans cheering as they arrived together. Jonas looked dapper in a classic black suit, proudly supporting his wife during the prestigious event.
In her acceptance speech, Chopra expressed gratitude for the recognition and reflected on her journey in the film industry. She recalled being told that non-English films would struggle to gain international traction. “When I started working, I was 18 years old… I was told that films with subtitles or non-English don’t travel. Yet, here we are today,” she remarked.
Chopra emphasized the importance of the Red Sea Film Festival in creating a platform for filmmakers from diverse backgrounds to share their stories. She thanked the festival organizers for fostering an inclusive environment that transcends borders and languages.
The event showcased not only Chopra’s achievements but also highlighted the growing recognition of international cinema. Following her speech, Chopra shared her appreciation for Jonas, acknowledging his unwavering support throughout her career.
As the festival continues to celebrate global talent, Priyanka Chopra’s honor marks a significant milestone in her career and underscores the evolving landscape of cinema where diverse voices are increasingly celebrated.
