“It’s so emotional for me to see the discovery and acceptance of this brilliant incredible story. ‘The White Tiger’ being embraced by audiences all over the world is awe inspiring,” Chopra Jonas wrote.

“Congrats and thank you to Aravind, Ramin, Adarsh, Raj, Mukul, Ava and everyone involved. Thank you Netflix for giving our little movie wings. #grateful,” she added.
“The White Tiger” chronicled the extraordinary journey of a driver named, Balram (Gourav).
It follows Balram’s rise from a poor villager to a successful entrepreneur in India, showcasing how hunger and lack of opportunity can build and drive a human being’s animal instinct of survival.
Chopra Jonas stars as Pinky Madam, a first-generation immigrant in the US, who is married to Rao’s character Ashok.
She also served as an executive producer on the film along with Emmy award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay.
Netflix has produced the movie in association with Mukul Deora.
