A better world for their kids, thanks to Asian artistes
May 16, 2026
|The Straits Times
Award recipients Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Charles Melton expressed gratitude to the trailblazers before them
At an event celebrating Asian talent, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Charles Melton credited Asian artistes and leaders with uplifting the entire community - and creating a better world for their children to live in.
Held in Los Angeles on May 9, the 2026 Gold Gala — hosted annually by the United States-based non-profit Gold House - honoured Asian and Pacific Islander leaders in industries such as entertainment, sports, fashion and technology.
Indian actress Chopra Jonas received the Global Vanguard Honor, an award for her decades-long career bridging Bollywood and Hollywood, while Korean-American actor Melton was recognised for his performance in Season 2 of the Netflix comedy-drama anthology Beef (2023 to present).
Also honoured were Chinese-American Olympic skier Eileen Gu, Chinese action star Jet Li and Chinese-Canadian actor Simu Liu.
In her acceptance speech, Chopra Jonas, 43, singled out her mother - 73-year-old medical doctor Madhu Chopra — who accompanied her to the event.
