More than two decades after sharing screen space in Andaaz, actors Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta reunited at Wimbledon, and fans couldn’t help but take a trip down memory lane. Their warm reunion, complete with a hug and matching smiles, quickly sparked nostalgia for the 2003 romantic drama that marked Lara’s Bollywood debut.
Priyanka shared a picture with Lara on Instagram on Sunday, showing the two posing together as she hugged her former co-star. Priyanka looked elegant in a white halterneck dress, while Lara opted for a blue outfit paired with a white shrug.
Sharing the photo, Priyanka wrote, “So good to see my girl.” Lara reposted the same picture with the caption, “26 years later, happy girls are still the…” — a playful nod to their long-standing friendship that began during their pageant days.

Directed by Raj Kanwar and produced by Suneel Darshan, Andaaz marked Lara Dutta‘s Bollywood debut. The film went on to become a commercial success and remains popular for its music and performances.
Apart from catching up with Lara, Priyanka was also among the celebrity guests at Wimbledon, where she watched the women’s singles semi-final between Karolna Muchova and Coco Gauff from the front row.
During the match, the actor gave husband Nick Jonas a virtual courtside experience through a FaceTime call, as he was unable to attend the tournament. Priyanka later shared that Nick is a longtime Wimbledon fan and usually accompanies her, but had to miss this year’s visit as he was in Los Angeles.
On the work front, Priyanka is set to return to Indian cinema after eight years with SS Rajamouli’s next, Varanasi, co-starring Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is currently being shot and is slated for release in April 2027.
Lara, meanwhile, will next be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi and Sunny Deol. The two-part epic is scheduled to begin its theatrical run during Diwali 2026.
