“She Made India Proud on a Global Stage” — Shashi Tharoor All Praise for Priyanka Chopra at Harvard

Global icon Priyanka Chopra continues to elevate India’s presence on international platforms. From ruling Bollywood to carving a strong space in Hollywood, Priyanka has become a symbol of talent, determination, and global ambition—an inspiration for millions, especially young women.

Recently, senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor met Priyanka Chopra during the prestigious Harvard India Conference held at Harvard University on February 14–15, 2026. This year’s conference revolved around the theme “The India We Imagine”, bringing together global Indian voices from politics, culture, and public life.


A Missed Panel, But a Memorable Meeting

Although both were scheduled to appear at the conference, Shashi Tharoor and Priyanka Chopra did not share the stage. However, the two met backstage just before Priyanka delivered the closing keynote address. Tharoor later shared photos from the meeting on social media, which quickly went viral.

Expressing mild regret, Tharoor wrote that he wished they could have been part of the same session, but was glad to reconnect after more than a decade.


Tharoor Impressed by Priyanka’s Global Presence

After listening to Priyanka Chopra’s speech, Shashi Tharoor openly praised her confidence, clarity, and communication skills. He described it as “remarkable” to see how strongly she represents India on an international intellectual platform like Harvard.

In his post, Tharoor noted that Priyanka has truly “made India proud” by commanding a global audience with grace, substance, and conviction—proving that Indian voices continue to shape conversations worldwide.
