An Emotional Return to Los Angeles
Taking to her Instagram stories, Priyanka Chopra offered a glimpse into her personal life by posting a casual selfie. The picture, seemingly taken from the terrace of her Los Angeles residence, featured the star making a peaceful 'V' sign against the backdrop of a beautiful evening sky. She expressed her joy at being back with her family by captioning the simple yet powerful photo "Home", accompanied by a red heart and a teary-eyed emoji.

Juggling a Blockbuster and Family Life
Priyanka Chopra has been tirelessly shuttling between Hyderabad and Los Angeles, managing a packed professional schedule. Her primary focus in India has been the shooting of SS Rajamouli's upcoming magnum opus, 'Varanasi'. The film, which also stars Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, marks her significant return to Indian cinema after a considerable gap. In the movie, she plays the female lead named Mandakini, a character who appears to possess formidable fighting skills. A previously released poster shows Priyanka in a vibrant yellow saree, confidently wielding a gun while standing on a rock, promising a powerful on-screen presence.
The excitement around the project is immense, with its teaser being unveiled at a massive event in Hyderabad. The film also features Prithviraj Sukumaran as the main antagonist, setting the stage for a dramatic clash. Beyond 'Varanasi', Priyanka is also set to reprise her role in the popular sci-fi franchise, confirming her return for 'Krrish 4' alongside Hrithik Roshan.
Remembering a Legend and Backing New Projects
During her time in India, Priyanka also took a moment to pay a touching tribute to the late veteran actor Dharmendra, whose passing she described as feeling "personal". She recalled the unwavering support she received from the Deol family during the nascent stages of her career, fondly remembering Dharmendra as "a true-blue Hindi film hero" with a magnetic smile and charisma. She shared a throwback picture of the legend along with a photo of herself posing with him.
On the professional front, the multifaceted star has also added film producer to her recent endeavors, backing the project 'Born Hungry'. This move demonstrates her continued commitment to nurturing diverse stories and talent in the industry, even as she conquers new heights as an actor in both Bollywood and Hollywood.
