When Kareena praised Priyanka

Kareena and Priyanka started their Bollywood careers around the same time and have been close friends over the years. The two even starred in Aitraaz and Don. A few years ago, the two stars also appeared for an episode of Karan Johar's talk show Koffee with Karan. Previously, Kareena had lauded Priyanka’s success in Hollywood.

Kareena said, “I feel like, you know, what Priyanka has done is something that I don’t know if everyone has that kind of courage and dedication. I don’t. I am passionate about acting. I am passionate about Hindi films."

When Karan asked, “Do you think Deepika [Padukone] will be able to cut it like Priyanka has?" Kareena replied, “I have no idea, I’m sure she will. But Priyanka is extremely talented. She knows how to, you know, the way she talks, when you see her giving her interviews, she makes you feel like you know, she does India proud somewhere as a proud Indian because she conducts herself really well."

Fans saw Priyanka last in Heads of State, an Amazon Prime Video film, alongside Idris Elba and John Cena. She is set to star in SS Rajamouli's upcoming film alongside Mahesh Babu. Priyanka will also be seen as a 19th-century Caribbean pirate in The Bluff.
