Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and Priyanka Chopra bumped into each other at the annual Harvard India Conference.
Dressed in a pretty red outfit, Priyanka Chopra looked gorgeous as ever. Both Tharoor and Chopra were invited as headline speakers.
Praising Priyanka for making India proud on the global stage, Shashi Tharoor wrote on X: "Caught up with @priyankachopra (after more than a decade) in the wings at @Harvard backstage, just before her appearance as the closing keynote of the @HarvardIndiaConf.
"Remarkable to see (and hear) how well she is doing! She has made India proud by conquering a stage on which Indians rarely get to appear. And of course she looks stunning, appears perfectly poised, and sounds thoughtful and wise—what's not to be proud of?!"
In the postscript, Tharoor revealed the identity of the third person in the frame: "That's my aide Narayan in the second pic, looking pleased as Punch!"
Priyanka replied to the politician's heartfelt message.
Re-sharing the X post, Priyanka added: "It was so good to see you again @ShashiTharoor Sir. Have always had such admiration for the orator that you are, as well as for your clap backs. Thank you so much for staying for my panel and your wisdom. Hope you feel better soon and our paths cross again."
For the uninitiated, Shashi Tharoor suffered a hairline fracture after stumbling on the Parliament staircase while distracted by his phone on February 4.
Despite the injury, he continued to attend Parliament proceedings, often using a wheelchair.
