Indian actress Priyanka Chopra’s journey from Bollywood to Hollywood after marriage to becoming a world-famous personality has been full of many memorable moments.

Recalling one such incident, musician Salim Merchant said that at one point, Priyanka Chopra’s arrival unintentionally diverted all the attention from legendary singer Sukhwinder Singh, who got so upset that he left the event.

This incident happened at a time when Priyanka Chopra was gaining popularity due to the success of Quantico. Meanwhile, she returned to Bollywood and played the lead role in Prakash Jha’s ‘Jay Ganga Jal’, which hit the theaters in 2016.

Salim Merchant said in a conversation that singer, musician and lyricist Sukhwinder Singh was performing at the event. At that time Priyanka’s ‘Quantico’ was running successfully. He arrived a little late to the event. Sukhvendra was singing, but suddenly everyone’s attention turned to Priyanka.

It is only natural that the media and others turned to him. She was a movie star, but Sukhvendra found the situation too awkward, so he walked away from the event. He was very sad. So I also went with them.

It should be noted that Jai Ganga Jal was a sequel to the 2003 film Ganga Jal. Priyanka Chopra played the lead role of a fearless police officer in the film, while Prakash Jha also played an important role as an actor through the film. The cast of the film also had Manu Kaul and Neenad Kamat in prominent roles.

As for Priyanka Chopra’s work, she will now be seen in SS Rajamouli’s mega film Varanasi opposite Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

This film will be his big comeback in Indian cinema after 2019’s The Sky is Pink. The film is slated for a global release on April 7, 2027. Apart from this, Priyanka Chopra’s upcoming projects include ‘Reset’ opposite Orlando Bloom.
