He acknowledged the impressive strides Priyanka has made since her move, noting that she has consistently excelled on every platform she has been part of.
Johar praised her for achieving success on her own terms and commended her for the way she has handled her career.

This praise came after Priyanka Chopra’s candid interview earlier this year with Dax Shepard, where she discussed her decision to leave Bollywood. She revealed feeling marginalized in the Hindi film industry and mentioned having conflicts with some people in the industry, which led her to pursue opportunities in Hollywood. Priyanka stated she was “pushed into a corner” and grew tired of the industry’s politics, prompting her to take a break and explore new avenues.
Despite this, Priyanka’s move has been largely successful. She first gained attention in the U.S. with her role in the TV series “Quantico” in 2015. Since then, she has appeared in several Hollywood films, including “Baywatch,” “Matrix: Revolutions,” and “Love Again,” and has starred in the Prime Video series “Citadel.”
Johar’s comments come in the wake of speculations about a past feud between him and Priyanka. The rumors began in 2012, coinciding with gossip about Priyanka’s rumored affair with Shah Rukh Khan. Johar, who is a close friend of Khan and his wife, Gauri Khan, was reportedly involved in attempts to sideline Priyanka during that period. However, Johar’s recent remarks suggest a shift towards acknowledging Priyanka’s accomplishments and the positive outcome of her Hollywood career.
