Priyanka Chopra, who is currently busy filming her next project with director SS Rajamouli, recently shared an inspiring story that left her deeply moved. The actor, who has been spending time in Odisha for the shoot, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share snippets from her experience. While posting about her daily activities on set, she also narrated an incident that occurred on her way to the Vishakhapatnam airport—one that she described as “very inspiring.”
In the video, Priyanka spoke directly to the camera, recalling a simple yet powerful moment that made a lasting impact on her. She said, “So! I don’t do this often but I was very inspired today. I was driving to Vishakhapatnam airport on my way to Mumbai, on my way to New York. And I saw this woman selling guavas, and I love kaccha (unripe) guavas! So I stopped her and I asked, ‘How much for all your guavas?’ She said ₹150. So I gave her a 200 note and she was trying to give me a change and I said, ‘No, please keep it.’ She obviously sold guavas for a living. She went away for a little while but before the red light changed to green, she came back and gave me two more guavas! A working woman, she did not want charity! Really moved me.”
