She's the most well-spoken woman I've ever witnessed in Bollywood. Her communication style is extremely therapeutic. Not even for a moment, do I get bored of listening to her talk. So much to learn from her... A perfect role model to look up to if you're into the glamorous stars who made it in their own.

She is inspiring women but her parents are more inspiring who were ahead of their time & supported their girl. The wisdom they had 40 years ago most indian parents in even 2023 don't have. hats off 👏👏

[@jtv848]

Intellectually, Priyanka is ahead of her peers in hollywood, which is evident in interviews. She truly is a " beauty with brains"

[@ikerina]

I'm not Indian but I'm curious why many Indians on the internet only focus on her accent, make fun of her because of it rather than focus on the positive sides she brings.

I disagree , we in fact value her more than she deserves to be becoz of all the glamour of popular movie actress. Moreover ,subliminally she seems to have a inferiority complex to Westerners and sometime speaks in a fake accent to blend in there.

[@biggboss9780]

she gave very harsh statements in the past, like I don't need a man, I only need him when I need his sperm to produce a baby.

[@baeyanka5264]

She is a genius!so inspiring... In fact I was once body shamed by my ex boyfriend and then he came back asking me to go back to him after realising that he will never find someone as humble and loving as I am... He had dated many girls after breaking up with me thinking that having a girl with slim and good body will satisfy his manhood.....but I guess he was wrong and regrets body shaming his true love...he wants me back and I am hesitant to fall for him again.

[@mbrilliB]

I think you deserve a better man who will love you from the word go and make you feel great about yourself from the beginning.

[@richarai14]

So self aware, sorted, clarity of thought and unbiased articulation. What works wonderfuly for Priyanka is the fact that she has seen and grown up in environment which has had both small town rooted-ness and showbiz glitz. She sounds credible because she has lived that life. Her story tells you that 'anybody can do it'.. what a wholesome journey.

[@geemuuuu]

She is more than an actor or a producer. She is a legend!

The Challenge. We can see Allah Taala challenged the disbelievers in variuos parts of the Quran. For instances, Allah said in surah al-isra' verse 88: Meaning: "Say if mankind and the Jin were together to produce the like of this Quran, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they helped one another." This is another miracle, in that situation, Allah clearly stated without doubt that the Quran will never be opposed or challenged by anything similar to it, for eternity. This is a true statement that has not been changed until the present and shall never change. How can anyone be able to produce something like the Quran, when tha Quran is the word of Allah Who created everything? How can the words of the created ever similar to the Words of the Creator. So think about that. i just convey the message from al quran scripture and scholars translate it and put this on the religious book.

[@ckarunanayake5494]

Amazingly changed her view.....incredibly gave her own mind answers and felt that in bottom of the heart....love her...❤

[@thePribs]

She's so right. We women are so afraid to create noise or stand up for ourselves cos we might get labelled 'troublesome'.

This is so inspirational. Even though we are in 21st century still there’s a difference between men and women and we do feel it all the time. The feeling of being criticized just because you have that X chromosome with you. Not being recognized same as your male co-worker. It is still there. And seeing people like you gives us the strength to deal with all these things and may do wonders. Thank you!

She represents herself with an utmost honesty as possible. She knows who she is! An entertainer. As thoughtful and truthful as possible. That isa very very tiring process. Looking forward to more of her. I have loved reading autobiography of Gandhiji. Self acknowledgement is a huge huge confrontation before you finally accept your limitations and possibilities owing your role and life choices. Priyanka achieves transparency for sure. I feel bad she is tiring... and hope she gets a break. But happy that she is still a feeling person.

[@sharminidias2179]

Priyanka is someone I admire , respect and follow. She gives me inspiration to achieve what we thought was not. Nothing in life is gained without hard work and she has done her part of hard work to get to, where she is, created a voice for Women in Asia and the world , leaving us speechless and empowered. I gain a lot by listening to her . I may not have a platform like hers , but from where I am now, I encourage all women within my reach, that dreams and achieving them never stop at any age . As Priyanka said “it doesn’t matter what your circumstances are , what matters is how big your dreams are . She has created a platform and opened opportunities for other women, and the next generation. Kudos to her !
