Priyanka Chopra Jonas has long been a global face of Indian talent, yet conversations around her achievements often spark debates. While Desi Girl continues to headline international projects and represent
India on world platforms, she has been absent from Indian cinema for a while. However, she is soon making a comeback with SS Rajamouli's epic Varanasi. After PeeCee shared her pictures from international Pirate action film, The Bluff, Grammy-winning musician Ricky Kej voiced a strong opinion, stating that Priyanka is not celebrated enough in India despite her unparalleled global impact.
Priyanka Chopra deserves to be celebrated more - Ricky Kej
Grammy-winning composer Ricky Kej recently shared a candid and powerful note on X, expressing that Priyanka Chopra is the one Indian actor who does not receive the celebration she truly deserves in her home country. In his post, Kej highlighted how Priyanka stands apart as the only Indian actor of any generation to have genuinely broken through Hollywood in a meaningful, mainstream way, after already enjoying years of immense success in India.
“My Opinion: The one actor in India who we do not celebrate enough is @priyankachopra. She is the ONLY Indian actor (of any generation) who has truly made waves in Hollywood and globally (After being one of the most sought after in India for many years),” Kej wrote.He went on to list her impressive collaborations with international heavyweights such as Idris Elba, Dwayne Johnson, Keanu Reeves, Karl Urban, Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci, Will Ferrell, Anthony Mackie, John Cena and Pedro Pascal, talking about the scale of her career.
Kej further stressed that Priyanka has consistently played mainstream roles, by writing, "She plays actual mainstream roles, and not some vague character who is 'exotic Indian'. Widely recognized as a great actor who can perform any kind of a role - action, comedy, drama. She is an ambassador with UNICEF, and gives back to society. Lets all wish her the best for her upcoming movie #TheBluff".Take a look:
