Priyanka Chopra recently met Nobel Laureate Malala Yousufzai and the actor is in awe of her.

"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 realised 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...
