During her live #AskPCJ session, Priyanka Chopra revealed she’s learning Telugu for her upcoming film and called Hyderabad biryani the “best in the world.”

Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who rose to fame in Bollywood and is now a global star, recently held a fun and informative #AskPCJ session for her fans. If you like food or regional movies, a few things stood out.

When asked about her experience working in Telugu cinema, Priyanka didn’t hold back. She said she’s "still learning" the language but is genuinely excited about embracing it for her upcoming film with Mahesh Babu, directed by S. S. Rajamouli. She admitted that while Telugu isn’t her first language, she’s getting there, thanks to Rajamouli’s helpful guidance. This film, she said, marks “a new era” in her Indian-cinema journey.

Of course, the foodie moment arrived when she asked about South Indian specialties. Her verdict? “Hyderabad biryani is the best in the world,” she said with enthusiasm. Apparently, the flavors have made a lasting impression.

She also touched on how her daughter, Malti Marie Chopra, has already been on set for the film and even got to explore Rajamouli’s farm — complete with a meet-cute moment with a calf. All in all, it was a laid-back moment of insight into Priyanka’s next chapter. Whether it’s diving into a new language or sharing her love for a legendary dish, Priyanka’s session was warm, candid, and full of genuine charm.
