Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas has built a strong body
of work with her sheer hardwork and dedication. Not only is she hailed as one
of the top actors in Bollywood, she is a very global icon on the world map as
well.
Celebrating her achievements the Marrakech
International Film Festival has announced a prestigious honour for the
multi-talented person that she is.
A tribute has been given to Priyanka Chopra Jonas
at the mythical Jamaa El Fna Square in front of the people, a special venue
where no award ceremony has happened earlier.
While the film festival celebrated the Indian
cinema in 2012 and invited Bollywood celebrities, it is for the
first time that an Indian celebrity has gotten honoured individually. This is
also the first time that a celebrity is given a tribute in front of 30,000
people. Talking about this milestone,
Priyanka says,” It is such an honour to be
recognized this year with a tribute on Jamâa El fna square before the Moroccan
public, who have always shown so much love and support throughout my
career."
Three films of Priyanka – Krrish 3,
Bajirao Mastani, and The Sky Is Pink are part of the festival’s line-up. Krrish
3 and Bajirao Mastani have also received the honour
of public screening at the Jamaa El Fna
square, which draws over 20,000 people every evening
for a festival show.
Besides Priyanka Chopra Jonas, three more names
have been honoured for their
contribution to cinema. The other names are, American director, producer, actor
and environmentalist Robert Redford, veteran French filmmaker Bertrand
Tavernier who has directed some of the most celebrated films of contemporary
French cinema and one of Moroccan cinema's shining stars, actor Mouna Fettou,
whose outstanding career has spanned nearly three decades.
