22th April 2023, Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra Jonas continues to get love and adulation from the South Asian community across the world as she gears up for the release of her global series Citadel on Prime Video on April 28. The international superstar and her husband Nick Jonas were pleasantly surprised at the sea of fans waiting outside their hotel to catch a glimpse of Chopra Jonas as they left for the global premiere of the series in London on April 18. Chopra Jonas who is known to be very connected with her fan base, even walked behind the barricades to sign a few autographs and take selfies with her fans who have been waiting for days to meet her.
At the venue of the global premiere, fans broke into the song ‘Desi Girl’ after her arrival. Her co-stars Richard Madden, Stanley Tucci, Lesley Manville and producers David Weil, Anthony Russo and Joe Russo were overwhelmed by the fan reactions and the overall excitement for the show and the high octane action sequences performed by Chopra Jonas. “Spy thrillers have been primarily led by male actors but for the first time we have a South Asian female actor leading the show and getting equal importance as her male counterpart in the narrative is a big deal. Only PeeCee could have done this. She is unstoppable. We love her,” said a fan of the star at the London premiere of the series.
Chopra Jonas has also been in the news for receiving equal pay as her co-star Richard Madden for the first time while working on the series. “I’ve been working in the entertainment industry for 22 years. I have done about 70-plus features, and two TV shows. When I did Citadel, I had pay parity with my male actor for the first time in 22 years,” she said during her promotional tour.
