Internationally acclaimed Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra announced on social media that she will be attending the 89th Academy Awards, which will take place on Sunday night here.

Priyanka took to Instagram on Friday night to share the news with her fans while posting a photograph with legendary British singer Mick Jagger.

Apart from Priyanka, actress Priyanka Bose is also expected to attend the 2017 Oscars for her film "Lion".

This won't be the first time when Priyanka would be gracing the red carpet at Oscars.

The 34-year-old, who got fame in the West through her lead role of Alex Parrish in TV thriller series "Quantico", was one of the presenters at the 88th Academy Awards last year.
