Revealed! Priyanka Chopra’s conversation with Barack and Michelle Obama

Will Smith, Emma Watson, Nina Dobrev and Kendall Jenner were all there at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, but Priyanka Chopra still managed to hold her own on the red carpet at one of Washington DC's biggest and most glamorous galas in a sexy black Zuhair Murad gown with ruffles, sheer panels and a deep decolletage. "When in Rome do as the Romans do. I am an Indian in America so I decided to go with the attire of the people here and I'm glad that the gown has been appreciated and has made it to the best dressed lists," the actress exults from across seven seas.

Just a few weeks ago, PeeCee had made another style statement with a sun shine yellow hand-woven sari when accepting the Padma Shri. She admits that she is really fond of the sari and was happy to wear one when receiving the coveted national honour back home. "For me the biggest excitement was being at the Rashtrapati Bhavan with President Pranab Mukherjee and at the White House with President Barack Obama in the same month," she points out.

While she is not willing to talk about her interactions with the Hollywood A-listers, she is happy to discuss the charming Obama and his funny and entertaining speech. What did they talk about? "He spoke about his visit to India and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to America. He was very warm and gracious and it felt really nice to be recognised as an Indian actress," she admits.

Priyanka also had a few words with First Lady Michelle Obama. "She has been doing some work on the girl's education programme and so am I. We had a conversation about it on Saturday. Hopefully something will come out of it," she reveals, but firmly dismisses the question of campaigning for the upcoming US elections. "I am apolitical and while I have opinions, I am not an American citizen with voting rights so I don't see a role for myself in the country's politics."
