Priyanka Chopra's Heartfelt Tribute to Mahesh Babu
The atmosphere was electric at Hyderabad's 'GlobeTrotter' event, where global superstar Priyanka Chopra sent the crowd into a frenzy while speaking about her esteemed co-star, Mahesh Babu. The occasion was the grand title and first-look launch of their highly anticipated film, 'Varanasi'.
A Star-Studded Affair
Priyanka Chopra made a grand entrance, captivating everyone in a stunning all-white traditional lehenga. Taking the stage, she first shared her experience of working with the visionary director SS Rajamouli and her co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran. However, the highlight of her speech was the moment she turned her attention to the Telugu cinema icon.
"The Incredible, Legendary Mahesh Babu"
Engaging playfully with the enthusiastic fans, Priyanka teased, "Thank you for welcoming me. You know who I am going to talk about, right?" She then revealed her personal nickname for him, saying, "I know him as MB. I know him as the incredible, legendary Mahesh Babu." This heartfelt declaration was met with thunderous applause from the audience.
She extended her gratitude beyond the professional sphere, offering a special thanks to Mahesh Babu's family, who were present at the event. "Thank you and your beautiful family, Namrata and Sitara, have made me feel like Hyderabad is my home," she expressed, acknowledging their warmth and hospitality.
Family Bonds in Hyderabad
This sense of family was not limited to the event. Earlier in the week, Priyanka had taken to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to share a delightful glimpse into her personal life during the Hyderabad schedule. She revealed that her daughter, Malti Marie, had a wonderful time and spent quality moments with Mahesh Babu's daughter, Sitara.
Priyanka also shared that Malti had accompanied her to the film set and particularly enjoyed a visit to director SS Rajamouli's farm. The toddler's favorite memory from the trip? Meeting a calf, an experience Priyanka fondly recounted during a fun Q&A session with her fans online.

Priyanka Chopra will be seen opposite him as Mandakini, while Prithviraj Sukumaran steps into the role of the main antagonist, Kumbha. With such a stellar cast and crew, the project is already one of the most awaited films in Indian cinema.
