New Delhi, March 3 (.) As geopolitical tensions intensify across West Asia, Priyanka Chopra has voiced a message of hope and resilience, urging people to hold on to light even in the darkest of times.

Against the backdrop of escalating conflict in the region, the global actor took to social media on the occasion of ‘Holika Dahan’, drawing parallels between the festival’s message and the current state of the world.

In her latest Instagram post, Priyanka marked the occasion of ‘Holika Dahan’, highlighting the timeless message that good ultimately triumphs over evil and spreading a note of optimism during challenging times.

“There’s a lot unfolding around the world. It’s hard. It’s heavy. But light has a way of showing us the way. Here’s to the triumph of good over evil. Holika Dahan,” she posted.

Priyanka’s post comes amid heightened tensions after the US and Israel coordinated airstrikes across multiple Iranian cities on February 28, targeting military command centres, air-defence systems, missile sites, and key regime infrastructure.

These strikes resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and four senior military and security officials, with large explosions reported in Tehran and other major cities.

In response, Iran also retaliated by launching ballistic missiles and drones at US assets and allies across the region, including Israel, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, further widening the conflict in the Middle East and heightening risks for civilians and expatriates alike.
