Priyanka Chopra is set to present a trophy at the 69th Primetime Emmy awards on Sunday.

Priyanka has joined the list of Hollywood stars, such as Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Adam Scott, Viola Davis, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Seth Meyers and Dolly Parton, who will return to the main stage to present various statuettes.


This is the second time Priyanka will present an award at the ceremony. Last year, the actor's twirl on the Emmys' red carpet got everyone talking.

Meanwhile, other noteworthy names in this year's list include Iain Armitage, Mark Feuerstein, Jermaine Fowler, Chris Hardwick, Kaitlin Olson, Jeremy Piven, Craig Robinson, Gina Rodriguez, Anika Noni Rose and Gabrielle Union.

The 2017 Emmys will be held at the Microsoft theatre in Downtown LA, California.

When Priyanka Chopra met children at refugee camps in Bangladesh, see pictures

While sharing her pictures, Priyanka wrote, "I’m in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh today for a field visit with UNICEF, to one of the largest refugee camps in the world. In the second half of 2017, the world saw horrific images of ethnic cleansing from the Rakhine State of Myanmar(Burma). This violence drove nearly 700,000 Rohingya across the border into Bangladesh - 60% are children!" (Photo: Instagram)
Asking everyone to lend their support for the children, Priyanka added, "Many months later they are still highly vulnerable, living in overcrowded camps with no idea when or where they will ever belong...even worse, when they will get their next meal. AND...as they finally start to settle and feel a sense of safety, monsoon season looms...threatening to destroy all that they’ve built so far. This is an entire generation of children that have no future in sight. Through their smiles I could see the vacancy in their eyes.
These children are at the forefront of this humanitarian crisis, and they desperately need our help. The world needs to care. We need to care. These kids are our future."
Earlier, Priyanka Chopra had visited Jordan and met Syrian refugee children. (Photo: Instagram)

Disturbed by the unfortunate events in Syria, Priyanka wrote, "I have never done this when I do field trips, but on this one I feel compelled to reflect on what I feel after every session because I felt a lot. The anger and agony I felt seeing these beautiful hopeful children ravaged by war was so raw. The world has seen the pain war has left in Syria but the resilience and joy and hope in spite of it is so inspiring to me. These kids are my inspiration. They should be yours too."
