Actor and global icon Priyanka Chopra is set to be recognised at the fourth annual Gold House Gala, which will take place on May 10 at the Music Centre in Downtown Los Angeles.

The Bollywood star will be honoured alongside international personalities such as rapper Megan Thee Stallion, Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee, and filmmaker Jon M. Chu.

As reported by Variety, Priyanka Chopra will be presented with the inaugural Global Vanguard Honour, a new award created to acknowledge trailblazing global leaders. The accolade celebrates her 25-year career spanning Indian cinema and Hollywood, marking her contribution in bridging Eastern and Western entertainment industries.

The Gold House Gala is known for celebrating the A100 List – an annual selection of the 100 most impactful Asian Pacific changemakers in culture and business. This year’s A100 list will be revealed on May 1, ahead of the gala, which is expected to welcome over 600 guests from various industries, including film, technology, and media.

In a statement, Gold House CEO and co-founder Bing Chen said, “The Gold Gala is more than just the biggest Asian Pacific event – it’s a platform for launching the next wave of culture. From honouring Michelle Yeoh for EEAAO before her history-aking Oscars run to celebrating Cynthia Erivo with Michelle and Jon M Chu before Wicked became a public phenomenon.”

Priyanka Chopra, who started her career in Hindi cinema after winning the Miss World title in 2000, has emerged as one of the few Indian actors to make a successful crossover to Hollywood. She has appeared in major international projects and has also produced regional and international content through her banner, Purple Pebble Pictures.

On the work front, Priyanka is collaborating with ‘RRR’ director SS Rajamouli for his upcoming project, tentatively titled ‘SSMB 29’, which also stars Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. She will also be seen in the Hollywood film ‘Heads of State’ alongside John Cena and Idris Elba.
