Priyanka Chopra congratulates Vir Das on Emmy win with bouquet & handwritten note, comedian thanks 'Quantico' star for blazing a trail

Vir Das, who recently wrote his name in the history books by securing an Emmy for Best Unique Comedy at the International Emmy Awards 2023, has expressed gratitude and shared a glimpse of the thoughtful gift he received from actress Priyanka Chopra following his win.

The actor-comedian, acclaimed for his Netflix special 'Vir Das: Landing,' which garnered widespread acclaim, posted a series of pictures on social media displaying the congratulatory flower bouquet he received from Chopra.

Expressing his appreciation, he tweeted, "Thank you @priyankachopra for the flowers and for every door you’ve opened for the rest of us. You’re awesome!"

A Personal Note From Priyanka Chopra

Accompanying the flowers was a handwritten note that reflected Chopra's warm wishes for Das's exceptional achievement. The note read, "Dear Vir, wishing you huge congratulations on your Emmy win! Such a well-deserved and wonderful accomplishment! With love, Priyanka, Mary, and your friends at Purple Pebble Pictures." It's worth noting that Purple Pebble Pictures is the film production company founded by the 'Quantico' star.

The camaraderie between the duo is not newfound. Chopra had previously attended one of Das's Los Angeles shows in 2022, hailing him as 'brave and inspiring.'
