A recent video shared by Salaam Baalak Trust Delhi has set the internet buzzing with speculation about a potential meeting between Sajda Pathan and Priyanka Chopra. The 12-year-old star of the Oscar-nominated short film Anuja was seen gearing up to board a flight, with the caption reading, "Sajda Pathan, the 12-year-old star of Oscar-nominated Anuja, is on a mission… Off to meet someone very special."
Fans quickly connected the dots, with many guessing that she is on her way to meet Chopra, who is the executive producer of the film. Adding fuel to the speculation, Priyanka Chopra also shared the video on her Instagram story, captioning it, “I’m so excited…”
The film Anuja, directed by Adam J. Graves, has garnered significant attention since its release. It focuses on a 9-year-old girl, Anuja, who works in a garment factory and faces a life-altering decision. With its compelling story of resilience, Anuja has made it to the 2025 Academy Awards shortlist in the live-action short film category.
Priyanka Chopra, who is an advocate for children’s rights, joined the project as an executive producer, further elevating its global profile. She previously expressed her pride in being part of the film, saying, "Anuja is a poignant, thought-provoking piece that makes us reflect deeply on the power of choices and how they shape the course of our lives."
