Global icon Priyanka Chopra, who is currently shooting for her upcoming film The Bluff in Australia recently visited the homestead Paradise Country at Gold Coast and discovered to her pleasant surprise that there is a baby koala named after her. The Brafi star blessed our feeds on Monday morning with a bunch of pictures and videos from her visit. In the first video, she’s accompanied by friends as they’re shown a tiny 8-month baby koala. The official then discloses that the koala’s name is Priyanka, inspired by the actor herself. Priyanka says, “Are you serious?”, thanks the official, and poses with the koala for a picture. She also shared the picture, pointing at the koala named after her. Priyanka was seen wearing a dark grey t-shirt, light grey slackers, and a grey jacket for her outing.
Priyanka captioned the post, “A 8 month old koala joey named after me!! So sweet.. thank you @paradisecountrygc for the lovely surprise and for introducing us to the most amazing wildlife. Meerkats, koalas, kangaroos, Tasmanian devils and Dingo’s! Thank you for all the work you’re doing for wildlife conservation in Australia as well. Magical Sunday afternoon.” Her singer-actor-husband Nick Jonas commented, “You’re cute. (Heart eyes emoji).”
