After conquering the West with her hit series ‘Quantico’ and presenting at the prestigious Oscars, Priyanka Chopra has now been invited to the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. It will be the last Correspondents Dinner hosted by US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Besides Priyanka, Hollywood stars like Bradley Cooper, Lucy Liu, Jane Fonda and singer Gladys Knight have also been invited to the dinner to be held later this month.
However, the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actress who is busy shooting for her Hollywood debut ‘Baywatch’ and second season of ‘Quantico’, has not yet confirmed whether she will be attending the dinner or not.
"Priyanka is shooting for the new season of Quantico and also has a schedule of her maiden Hollywood film Baywatch lined up. Whether she will make it to the White House dinner or not will be clear only next week," The Times Of India quoted a source as saying.
The annual dinner is basically aimed at raising funds for journalism scholarships and recognising exemplary work in the profession.
The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) dinner is traditionally attended by the President and the First Lady, who are joined by other senior government officials and members of the press corps, according to the official site of the WHCA.
