In 2000, while Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World title, Lara Dutta was crowned Miss Universe. The two later went on to star together in Andaaz (2003). Now, Priyanka and Lara have reunited at Wimbledon, and fans can’t stop gushing over the nostalgic moment.
Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta reunion
On Sunday, Priyanka took to Instagram to share a picture with Lara. In the photo, Priyanka held Lara close as they posed for the camera. Priyanka looked chic in a white halterneck dress, while Lara opted for a blue dress paired with a white shrug. Sharing the picture, Priyanka expressed her excitement over the reunion and wrote, “So good to see my girl.”
Fans were delighted to see the duo together. One comment read, “Andaaz is back.” Another wrote, “Miss World and Miss Universe together.” A third fan commented, “Only Akshay is missing from the frame,” while another simply wrote, “Priyanka looks stunning.”
Lara and Priyanka starred together in Andaaz, the 2003 romantic drama directed by Raj Kanwar and produced by Suneel Darshan. The film also featured Akshay Kumar, marked Lara’s Bollywood debut and went on to become a box office success.
Priyanka made a glamorous appearance at Wimbledon on Thursday, taking a front-row seat for the women’s singles semi-final between Karolína Muchová and Coco Gauff. During one of the matches, she also brought a dose of romance to the stands by showing Nick Jonas the action via a FaceTime call, making sure he didn’t miss a moment.
Speaking about the tradition, Priyanka said, “It’s wonderful this season. Usually Nick accompanies me to Wimbledon and he’s a big fan but he wasn’t able to do that this time as he’s back home in LA. It was a three-second video call, all of us do that.”
