Moore Recalls Sweet Meeting With Priyanka Chopra
“You know, the funny thing is, when we met, I was on my way to India. I think I met Priyanka once at an airport, actually, when we were transferring flights,” Moore said. “I was going to Southern India, and she was heading to a wedding in India.” The actress added, “She’s so lovely, so, so lovely, such a lovely actress and wonderful person.”
Moore and Chopra have also been seen together at international events, with Priyanka posting about their red carpet moments in the past.
‘Utterly Enchanting’: Moore’s Love for South India
Reflecting on her trip, Moore said she couldn’t wait to go back. “It’s a beautiful place,” she shared, noting that the cuisine and atmosphere were very different from what she was used to. “The food was so delicious, it was utterly different for me. I mean, really, really wonderful. The temples and the flower markets and the atmosphere…” she gushed.
Moore previously traveled to Tamil Nadu’s Karaikudi in 2018 with husband Bart Freundlich while filming After the Wedding, a remake where she played a woman who runs an orphanage in Kolkata. During that visit, she bonded with Tamil actress Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and visited local weaving centers.
The Echo Valley star expressed how much that experience meant to her. She was moved by the region’s culture and beauty. Julianne Moore was charmed by India’s warmth, its flavors, colors, people, and spiritual richness, particularly in the south and would love to visit again.
