Priya Chopra recently shared a video posted by Salaam Baalak Trust, featuring Anuja-starrer Sajda Pathan as she traveled and made her way to the airport. With excitement, Priyanka captioned the video saying, "I’m so excited!"

The video captures a pivotal moment in Sajda’s journey, adding to the anticipation surrounding her next steps. Priya’s enthusiasm is palpable, and fans are equally thrilled to see the unfolding of this exciting chapter for Sajda Pathan.

Fans are buzzing with excitement, speculating whether Sajda Pathan is on her way to meet global icon Priyanka Chopra, who has produced her film Anuja, which has been selected for the Oscars.

The anticipation is growing as the connection between the two stars builds curiosity, especially with Priyanka’s backing of Anuja propelling it to such a prestigious level.

With Anuja making waves internationally, this meeting could mark a significant milestone in Sajda’s career and further highlight the global recognition of the film.

Original video read, "Sajda Pathan, the 12-year-old star of Oscar-nominated Anuja, is on a mission… Off to meet someone very special."


Since its release, Anuja, directed by Adam J. Graves, has captured widespread attention. The film tells the story of a 9-year-old girl named Anuja, who works in a garment factory and is confronted with a life-changing decision.

With its powerful narrative of perseverance, Anuja has earned a spot on the 2025 Academy Awards shortlist for Best Live-Action Short Film.

Priyanka Chopra, a passionate advocate for children's rights, came on board as an executive producer for the project, significantly boosting its international visibility. She has previously shared her pride in being involved with the film, emphasizing the importance of its message stating, "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."

Sajda Pathan, the talented young actress portraying Anuja, has an inspiring personal journey. Before landing her role in Anuja, Pathan lived on the streets of Delhi and was later supported by Salaam Baalak Trust. Her portrayal in the film has been praised for its raw authenticity, deeply influenced by her own life experiences. The film’s mission resonates with the work of the trust, which is dedicated to supporting street children, underscoring the powerful and meaningful nature of the project.

Although there’s been no official confirmation regarding a meeting between Sajda and Priyanka, fans are eagerly hopeful that the two will cross paths soon, possibly as part of the ongoing Oscar journey. The anticipation surrounding this potential encounter continues to grow, with many excited about the possibility of these two inspiring women coming together.
