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

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.

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...
