International diva Priyanka Chopra is unquestionably having
a great year with she finally making her Hollywood debut in Baywatch. She is
presently shooting for the third season of her famous American TV show
Quantico.
Priyanka Chopra has now been awarded the Mother Teresa
Memorial Award for Social Justice.
A source disclosed to a tabloid, "The Mother Teresa
Memorial International Awards for Social Justice aims to felicitate selfless
and intrepid individuals who have channelled all of their energies and
creativity to further the aims of social justice to encourage society to imbibe
these virtues of peace. Priyanka received the award for her contribution
towards lending her support to social causes, such as her recent visit to
Syria, where she met and interacted with refugee children. The actor is also
UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador and is known for supporting various philanthropic
activities.”
While Priyanka wasn’t available to receive the award, her
mother, Dr Madhu Chopra received it on her behalf. Talking about it, Madhu
revealed a leading tabloid, “As a mother, I am very proud to have a child who
is so compassionate and kind. She exemplifies the fact that the more you give,
the more you get. Even as a child, she was influenced by Mother Teresa and has been
supporting Prem Niwas in Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh). It is justifiable for her to
receive this award and I am immensely proud of her. I’m thankful and I’m sure
she is humbled that her efforts have been recognised by the foundation, which
believes in helping the needy, supporting the deprived and raising funds for
the impoverished.”
