"I think the kind of women got involved in this film and the international actors, who have been part of this, really gave 'Girl Rising' film a voice. And, I am very proud to be a part of 'Girl Rising' and bringing this film to India," the 32-year old actress said.
"In India, nine actresses will be telling the stories of these nine girls. Freida Pinto will be part of it, I am a part of it, and the beauty of it was, it just took one phone call from me. I called my colleagues and all of them said yes. They didn't even hesitate once that it's for another girl. Thus, proving a point that female actors don't only have cat fights; we come together for causes we believe in," Chopra added.
The United States Agency for International Development has announced USD 3 million as fund to support the program worldwide.
