According to the Hollywood Reporter, the 35-year-old ‘Desi’ girl will be the guest of honour at the fundraiser event on September 6.
The funds raised from the TIFF gala will help fund talent development programmes at the Canadian festival to get more women behind and in front of the camera.
For its 42nd edition, the stylish event at Bell Lightbox will feature Chopra in conversation with festival artistic director Cameron Bailey.
