Priyanka was seen at Ayodhya airport holding her daughter Malti. This time, Priyanka has been seen in a truly desi avatar.
As the world celebrates World Humanitarian Day on August 19, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas shared an Instagram story to celebrate the ‘real life heroes’ on the occasion. Sharing a video made by the United Nations, the actress on Instagram wrote, “Kindness is a universal language that knows no borders. This #WorldHumanitarianDay, let’s honour #RealLifeHeroes – humanitarians & frontline workers, who’ve been selflessly working to help those in need around the world.”
Priyanka has been actively involved in philanthropic work and is a UNICEF goodwill ambassador as well. Last year, she was honoured with the Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award at the UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York.
In a video shared by UNICEF USA, Priyanka said that she was drawn to children’s issues early on in her career. “I had just become an actor and I was figuring out that I had this platform. I had started associating with causes that I believed were important. I was working with thalassemic children, children’s wards and suddenly I realised that there was a theme – that I was working with a lot of kids. My then manager Natasha Pal told me that there is this organisation called UNICEF and maybe I should volunteer,” she said on the sidelines of the event.
