Tharoor took to his official Instagram handle and shared his delight at meeting PeeCee, who is constantly making her country proud.
The politician pointed out that Priyanka has been making a mark for herself on platforms that are not easily accessible. He further shared that the diva looked absolutely poised while doing it.

Remarkable to see (and hear) how well she is doing! She has made India proud by conquering a stage on which Indians rarely get to appear. And of course she looks stunning, appears perfectly poised and sounds thoughtful and wise &mdash; what&rsquo;s not to be proud of?! (sic)."
PeeCee also used social media to laud Tharoor's oration skills.
Hoping that their path crosses again soon, she wrote, "It was so good to see you again ShashiTharoor Sir. Have always had such admiration for the orator that you are but as well for your clap backs. thank you so much for staying for my panel and your wisdom. Hope you feel better soon and our paths cross again."
Work-wise, Priyanka will soon be seen in an action-packed avatar as the fierce pirate Ercell in her forthcoming swashbuckler action thriller The Bluff.&nbsp;
