Actor Priyanka Chopra was recently at the Global Goals Awards where she spoke about the importance of empowering girls. Priyanka, who is a UNICEF ambassador, also met with Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Laureate at the event and posted a picture with her on her Instagram account.
In her post, Priyanka couldn’t stop praising Malala for being incredible at such a young age. The Bajirao Mastani actor, spoke about how Malala is a role model for every boy and girl today, and how Mr. Yousafzai, Malala’s father, reminds Priyanka of her own dad. Here’s what Priyanka’s Instagram share said:
I could write a novel about how smart, incredible, inspiring, encouraging and funny this young woman is...but I will keep it brief. Malala, you are an undeniable force to be reckoned with. The world knows that. You are a role model to all the girls and boys that want to make this world a better place for the future. Spending a few hours with you and your incredible father Mr. Yousafzai ( who reminds me so much of my father) , I realized you’re also just a young girl with young dreams. Your jokes, Your love for Hindi Films, your infectious laughter will always remind me of what a huge responsibility you have taken on at such a tender age.. I’m so proud to know you my friend. You inspire women like me all over the world. Can’t wait to speak to u in our secret Hindi/Urdu again.Priyanka Chopra (Instagram)
As for Malala, it was a fan girl moment to meet the Bollywood actor.
We bet Priyanka shared the same feeling.
