Priyanka Chopra, known for her grace and kindness, continues to win hearts not only through her remarkable talent but also her generosity towards those around her. Her warmth and humility have made her beloved by fans and co-workers alike, and many stories of her kindness circulate in the industry. One such tale comes from choreographer Terence Lewis, who recently shared a heartwarming encounter with Priyanka at the airport.
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Terence recalled an incident that took place in 2010. He was at the business class lounge, waiting for his flight after returning from Kolkata. While he was seated, a notable encounter unfolded with an airport manager who recognized him. “The general manager of the airport came up to me and said, ‘Sir, you’re here? Amazing! My entire family loves your show. My kids are your fans!’” The manager then requested a photograph with Terence for his wife, adding, “My wife is a huge fan. You have to take a picture with her!”
Terence, aware that his flight was imminent, agreed but was taken aback when the manager insisted, “No, no, sir. My house is 45 minutes away, but I must get this picture.” Terence joked about the situation, questioning how this could affect the flight, but the manager was determined, even suggesting the flight wouldn’t leave without a photo.
Amidst this unusual request, Priyanka Chopra, who was sitting opposite Terence, noticed the scene unfolding. The two had previously worked together, and she recognized him as a fellow professional. Priyanka, observing the attention Terence was receiving, invited him over to sit beside her. “Come, sit next to me. What’s going on in your life?” she asked.
Terence shared the success of his show, which had become a massive hit, reaching audiences everywhere. Priyanka responded with genuine excitement, “Amazing! I’m so happy for you. Kudos to you!”
As the airport manager’s wife arrived for the photo, she was in for an even bigger surprise—Priyanka Chopra herself. In a generous gesture, Priyanka offered to take the picture for them. Terence was left in awe of the situation, recognizing just how far his own popularity had grown. The moment became even more surreal as he and Priyanka continued their conversation during the flight, reflecting on the experience and the warmth of the people they encountered.
