India, Feb. 16 -- Congress leader Shashi Tharoor met Indian actress Priyanka Chopra at the annual Harvard India Conference, when he praised her for making the country proud.

Sharing images of his meeting with the actress, Tharoor wrote on X: "Caught up with @priyankachopra (after more than a decade) in the wings at @Harvardbackstage, just before her appearance as the closing keynote of the@HarvardIndConf. Remarkable to see (and hear) how well she is doing! She has made India proud by conquering a stage on which Indians rarely get to appear. And of course she looks stunning, appears perfectly poised and sounds thoughtful and wise - what's not to be proud of?!"

Priynka responded to his post and expressed her gratitude after the meeting. ...
