‘Welcome back, Desi Girl!’ Priyanka Chopra’s first look as Mandakini in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi takes the internet by storm.
“I think I speak for everyone when I say… oh my god,” Priyanka’s husband Nick Jonas wrote in the comments on her Instagram post.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas returns to Indian cinema after a long hiatus, this time with a confirmed role as ‘Mandakini’ in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi. For the grand first-look reveal of the mega project in Hyderabad last night, the Desi Girl dazzled in an ivory custom Anamika Khanna lehenga, leaving the internet in awe.
“I think I speak for everyone when I say… oh my god,” her husband Nick Jonas commented on her Instagram post—an appreciation many fans wholeheartedly echoed.
Decoding her look
Styled by Ami Patel, Priyanka teamed her lace-embroidered lehenga, detailed with golden brocade work, with stacked gold bangles, a statement necklace, and matching maang tika and earrings. Her loose fishtail braid—accented with gold crescent-shaped embellishments—lent a regal flair to the ensemble. Soft, dewy makeup with a generous flush of blush, nude glossy lips, and a green bindi that matched her waist chain completed the look beautifully.
