Priyanka Chopra Jonas marked a significant return to the global stage, gracing the Golden Globes ceremony for the third time in her career. This year, however, she stepped into the role of a presenter, a move that underscores her growing stature in international entertainment. The actor shared the presenting duties with global K-pop sensation Lalisa 'Lisa' Manobal of BLACKPINK, as they took to the stage to announce the winner in a key television category.
A Spotlight Moment on the Global Stage
The high-profile moment saw Chopra Jonas and Manobal introducing the winner for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Drama. The award was presented to veteran actor Noah Wyle for his role in the medical drama 'The Pitt'. This appearance was not just another red-carpet walk; it was a platform moment that reinforced Priyanka's position as a consistent and respected figure in Hollywood's major award circuit. Industry observers note that her journey has evolved from being seen as a crossover star to becoming a regular and influential presence in the wider American entertainment conversation.
Industry Peers Echo Admiration
This global recognition finds resonance back home, with top industry voices acknowledging her craft. In an exclusive conversation with ETimes, 'RRR' star Ram Charan was asked to highlight qualities he admired in contemporaries. While promoting the SS Rajamouli epic, Charan spoke warmly about both Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt. "Actually, I can't mention any one quality as such, because there are so many," Charan stated. "They both (Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt) are very fine and absolutely amazing at their art."
Charan's comments also delved into the global phenomenon that 'RRR' became. He credited director SS Rajamouli's vision for elevating the entire team to international acclaim. "I think more than a film, it's Rajamouli's vision that takes the entire team of the film to a global level," he reflected. On the film's massive scale and release, he added, "I am very excited as this is really a very huge film and we all have put so much of our energies into it."
Discipline, Dance, and Future Projects
Ram Charan also shared personal insights, revealing the values instilled in him by his father, megastar Chiranjeevi. "He always talks about discipline. He just wants me to work and live life with utmost discipline," Charan noted. Speaking about the iconic 'Naatu Naatu' number, which later won an Oscar, he said, "It was a great journey to put in such an energetic number. I had a great time dancing with NTR." He also praised his co-stars, mentioning being "extremely impressed with the intensity Ajay sir (Devgn) brings on the screen" and calling Alia Bhatt "a very fine actor."
