Priyanka Chopra extends support to SAG AFTRA strike

Actress Priyanka Chopra, who was most recently seen in Prime Video’s spy-thriller series Citadel, has lent support to the strike called by a Hollywood’s actors union and said she stands in solidarity with her colleagues.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA) on Thursday voted to join screenwriters in the first joint strike after failing to reach a consensus for a new contract with the studios and streaming services, represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).


“I stand with my union and colleagues,” Chopra wrote in the caption of her Instagram post. “In solidarity, we build a better tomorrow. #SagAftraStrong #SagAftraStrike.”

Her Instagram followers praised the actress for taking a stand.

One user wrote, "Yaaaaas Queen” and dropped a heart emoji.

Another user commented, "More power to you queen."

Following failed negotiations for a new contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (SAG-AFTRA) voted to join screenwriters in a joint strike, marking the first such strike since 1980. Both guilds are asking for better pay, improved working conditions, and protection against artificial intelligence or AI taking their jobs.

Several prominent Hollywood actors, including Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Lee Curtis and Jeremy Renner, have also expressed their solidarity for the strike.

His single Why Would I made waves on Spotify’s Viral Songs India chart, while his label The Clique Records champions new South Asian talent, proudly repping Telugu identity on a global stage.
