Priyanka Chopra's 'On-Point' reply to Rape & other issues in India

Global icon Priyanka Chopra is not only hailed for her acting skills or for her beauty but also for her power of words. The actress has interesting thoughts on various issues which totally makes her a well-read and a well-spoken person.

The actress-singer who now turned a philanthropist and the Unicef Goodwill Ambassador was in a conversation with a leading daily where Pee Cee was asked about her meeting with these children. To which she expressed, "Philanthropy was a very big part of my upbringing. My family always believed that no matter where you are, no matter how bad your conditions are, there will always be someone who is worse off than you. So, you have to sort of understand the privilege we come from, and from that privilege comes the social responsibility".

"I think that from the time when I became Miss World, I became an adult... in a way when I won, even though I was 17, I grew up suddenly. I felt... I have a position that [I could] use to be able to actually make a tangible difference in the world, and not just talk about it but do it", she further added.

The actress was later asked if she has ever faced questions like child marriages still exist in India, Priyanka revealed, "Yeah, of course. I can't give you names. A generic thought is [about] arranged marriage, child marriage, rapes... those are the questions."

"It makes me want to come back and do something about it. I'm not a liar, so I can't turn around and say it doesn't [happen]. But at the same time, I'm not going to be someone who says that's all India stands for. Every country has its own issues. We have these issues; they [West] have their issues. The point is finding a solution, and that's what I try to focus on", she concluded.
