Mumbai: Bollywood’s ‘Desi Girl’ Priyanka Chopra, who has carved a niche for herself in Hollywood too, has added another feather in her cap.

 

The ‘Baywatch’ actress has been named brand ambassador for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2020.

 

Piggy Chops took to her Instagram handle on Wednesday to share the good news with fans and well-wishers.

 

“I am very proud to serve as an ambassador this year, and I look forward to continuing a relationship that I value tremendously,” she posted.

Mrs Chopra Jonas also shared snippets from her empowering addresses at the TIFF.

Calling TIFF her second home, Priyanka said, “Throughout my career TIFF has been a second home for me, with many of my films, as both an actor and producer, making their world debut at the festival.”

“TIFF has always been at the forefront of supporting and championing global content that showcases diversity and inclusion, a charge led by my friend @cameronpbailey and his talented team, who work with passion to shine a spotlight on these special stories and storytellers,” she added.

The TIFF invites 50 celebrated filmmakers and actors as ambassadors every year.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, TIFF 2020 will be opting for digital screenings and virtual red carpets this year.

The festival is slated to be held from September 10 to 19.
