After father-in-law Paul Kevin Jonas, Sr., Cardi B took to Twitter to laud actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s new Netflix film, ‘The White Tiger.’ The rapper was moved to tears by the film released on January 22. Also starring actors Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav, the movie is directed by Ramin Bahrani.
The 28-year-old singer-songwriter shared in a tweet, “White Tiger is such a great movie.
