A clip starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas has recently gone viral mainly due to its connection with the popular series Panchayat on Amazon Prime.  

In the scene, Priyanka is seen requesting the village head (Pradhan) for ‘lauki.’ The humor builds up even more when the Pradhan tagged as Rinki’s father in the clip (played by Pankaj Tripathi) is shown readily accepting her request and promises to send the ‘lauki’ from Phulera.  

To put in context for those following Panchayat, Phulera is the quintessential North Indian village backdrop for the series which features Jitendra Kumar as Abhishek Tripathi, an engineering graduate-turned Panchayat Secretary. The mention of Phulera and the nod to Rinki’s father brings in a fun, viral moment mashup. Riddhi Dogra portrays the character Rinki in this particular scene.  

This combination of Priyanka Chopra’s bollywood status with the earthy grounded feel of the series ‘Panchayat’ has tickled the funny bones of the audience and provoked conversations and shares on various online platforms which is a clever slice of internet culture that links disparate realms of Indian entertainment effortlessly.
