The ‘Baywatch’ actor took to Twitter and shared a screengrab of the nomination plate that showcases ‘The White Tiger’ as one of the nominees.
Expressing her excitement in the caption to the post, Chopra wrote, “We just got nominated for an Oscar! Congratulations Ramin and team #TheWhiteTiger. Somehow announcing the nomination myself made it so much more special. So so proud (a red heart emoticon).”
Other stars of the film including Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav also shared the post of the nomination.
Shortly afterwards, Priyanka shared pictures from her home where she announced the nominations, owing to the coronavirus restrictions in place.
She shared a post that featured her pictures, the first photo sees Priyanka as she wraps a huge Oscar Award shaped mannequin in her hand and tries to swoop it away with help of her husband Nick who is seen holding up the object from the bottom just to help Priyanka take the trophy.
The second snap sees Priyanka striking a pose along with hubby. The two look stunning as the ‘Isn’t It Romantic’ star wore an ink blue designer dress, with an accentuated bow near the neck, while the ‘Sucker’ singer is seen dressed in a mustard yellow tuxedo and a white shirt.
Taking to the Twitter, Priyanka wrote, “One way or the other… (laughing emoticon) Congratulations to all the nominees. And thank you @theacademy for the opportunity.@gregwilliamsphotography you fit right into our manic Monday. Thank you for the pictures (two heart emoticons) @nickjonas.”
