Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband Nick Jonas made a striking appearance on the red carpet of the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia on Thursday.
Priyanka dazzled in a metallic silver off-shoulder bodycon gown, while Nick looked dapper in a classic black suit. The couple posed elegantly, with Priyanka affectionately holding Nick’s arm as they posed for photographers.
The actress was honoured at the festival for her contributions to global cinema. Reflecting on the recognition, Priyanka shared her thoughts on the power of storytelling, “I am humbled to be recognised at the Red Sea International Film Festival, a celebration of storytelling that transcends language, borders, and cultural divides. I have always believed in the universal power of entertainment to bring people together, and I applaud the Red Sea team for their commitment to showcasing the incredible talent and diversity of stories being told around the world, not just within Hollywood or Bollywood but far beyond.”
She continued, “Reflecting on nearly 25 years in the industry, I am reminded of how fortunate I’ve been to witness and contribute to storytelling that challenges perspectives, inspires change, and connects us all. This recognition is a reminder of why I fell in love with making movies in the first place. My gratitude to the Red Sea International Film Festival for this special honour and for their efforts to spotlight the extraordinary artistry of global cinema.”
Shivani Pandya Malhotra, Managing Director of the Red Sea Film Foundation, lauded Priyanka’s career achievements, “Each year, we honour changemakers and entertainment icons – and Priyanka is someone who has become both of those things over a magnificent career which continues to flourish. She is a global star but also an actor who has championed the work of upcoming filmmakers and has gone on to produce herself. We’re thrilled to be welcoming her to Jeddah as a Red Sea Honouree.”
