Priyanka is known to use her star-power to do good for the world and that is one of the reasons she chose to be UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador. The Bollywood and International star, Priyanka Chopra, was in New Delhi on Wednesday for a UNICEF event. She had the chance of meeting with the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to invite him to an upcoming conference of Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH) as she was a part of the delegation that includes the Union Health Minister JP Nadda and former President of Chile as well as incoming chair of PMNCH Board Michelle Bachelet.

What seemed to catch the attention of the audience was her choice of attire; the actress was seen wearing a demure Anarkali that had full-sleeves and a high neck. More than a year ago, the actress was trolled for wearing a short dress when she met PM Modi in Germany.
Priyanka Chopra’s mom had said, “All I taught her, if you have done no wrong, you have nothing to fear. She was going for Baywatch promotion, suddenly she bumped onto Mr Modi, she cannot go for a dress change and come back to say hello? The meeting was not pre-planned, it was impromptu.”
A source mentioned to a leading newspaper, “The invite came a week ago when PeeCee was shooting for the third season of Quantico in Ireland. But she decided to squeeze time out for the appearance. The event will see her deliver a talk about the importance of child education in rural India.”
In a post by the actress, she expressed her respect to PM Modi for meeting them and described the conversation with the Prime Minister as “insightful”. “Very grateful to the honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi to meet me, Shri J.P. Nadda (Indian Health Minister) and Mrs. Michelle Bachelet, (former President of Chile, incoming #PMNCH Chair) in regards to being a patron for the Partners’ Forum which is being held in New Delhi in December this year. The aim is very important – the improvement and transformation of access to quality healthcare at every life stage for women, children and adolescents, in an effort to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in 2030,” she wrote in her post.
Very grateful to the honorable @PMOIndia, Shri @narendramodi to meet me, Shri @JPNadda and Mrs. @mbachelet in regards to being a patron for the Partners’ Forum… #2018PMNCHLivehttps://t.co/6jUOpnE77k pic.twitter.com/pt5wkS8q8Z

“This year, India will play host to the largest ever Partners’ Forum, with more than 1,200 delegates from more than 92 countries. It was an insightful, positive conversation which was very heartening and inspiring because of the personal commitment of everyone at the meeting. We covered a lot of ground from the various efforts being taken by individual countries & partners to building a collective environment that could help propel the change we seek for a better world. We started something important today and I am looking forward to what is being set in motion,” the post read.
And that makes us wonder if the trolls pushed her into wearing something more sensible and sanskaari? Priyanka Chopra is currently shootting for the third season of her American sitcom Quantico and will be seen in two Hollywood films, A Kid Like Jake and Isn’t it Romantic?
