Priyanka Chopra and Zakir Khan: A Lunch to Remember
Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra recently enjoyed a delightful lunch with comedian Zakir Khan in New York, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie among Indian celebrities abroad. Their meeting caught the attention of fans, as both shared heartwarming messages on their social media accounts. Priyanka expressed her gratitude to Zakir for his kindness, creativity, and humor, stating she was "so happy to know you" in her Instagram story.
Zakir Khan, known for his relatable and humorous content, reciprocated by calling Priyanka "the queen" in his post, further endearing them to their fans. The duo's lunch symbolizes the bonds created among Indian artists, regardless of their locations. Priyanka was in New York following her promotional activities in India, including the inauguration of a Bvlgari store, where she mingled with fellow actors like Tamannaah Bhatia and Mrunal Thakur, who were visibly moved by her presence.
Meanwhile, Zakir has been enjoying a breakthrough moment in the U.S. with his ongoing tour. One of the highlights was his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, where he made history as the first Indian comedian to headline a Hindi stand-up show. The event attracted around 6,000 fans, and Zakir brought a special touch by video-calling his parents during the performance, which quickly went viral.
This MSG event is part of a broader North American tour that will see Zakir performing in various major arenas, including Toronto's Scotiabank Arena. However, in a recent announcement, Zakir revealed he would take a partial break from touring to focus on his health, having faced health issues for over a year. He assured fans that while upcoming shows would be limited, he aims to return stronger.
On the films front, Priyanka Chopra is making waves in the Indian film industry with a high-profile collaboration for a jungle-adventure movie directed by S. S. Rajamouli. Starring alongside Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj, the film promises to be an action-packed adventure, reminiscent of Indiana Jones. The first look of the film was shared on Mahesh Babu's birthday, generating excitement among fans. As both Priyanka and Zakir navigate their respective paths, their recent meeting underscores the supportive network of Indian talent across the globe.
