I mean, this is iconic. And to be able to look around me, and see my peers and colleagues that have hustled and pounded the pavement for years, and to be able to have them receive a moment that's just theirs, makes me like, cry.'4 / 7About Mindy, she said, 'I mean -- mostly we talk about the bad stuff, like when bad stuff happens, we call each other. And I've noticed, yeah we'll meet at Holi parties or Diwali -- parties and social events -- but we actually call each other when sh*t goes down. And we're like, 'I'm not feeling good about this. And she helps me through. And she's like, 'I'm not feeling good about it.' It's so nice to have -- you know when girls have each other's back. Especially, to have that with someone who comes from where I do. Even though we have culturally very different experiences, it's just wonderful to have that.'5 / 7Priyanka Chopra shared a string of images on her Instagram handle and captioned her post, 'South Asian Excellence at the Oscars.' 6 / 7Priyanka Chopra looks like an angel in disguise in her all-white outfit from the shelves of Falguni Shane Peacock7 / 7The South Asian Excellence celebration is co-hosted by Priyanka Chopra and Mindy Kaling.
