“I was brought onto the journey of Citadel early 2018 by @jennifersalke , before I was even married. Feels like so long ago! But I’ll never forget being mesmerised by the ambition of the show. To actually connect the world together through storytelling,” the actress wrote.
Priyanka went on to admire how the Citadel universe connects filmmakers, actors and writers across the world. “Now, to finally see the world of Citadel, expanding as originally conceptualised so many years ago, is so gratifying.
