Priyanka Chopra took to her Instagram handle to share an inspiring story from her time in Koraput, Odisha.
On Tuesday, the actress, who recently wrapped up shooting for #SSMB29, recalled an encounter with a roadside guava vendor on her way to Vishakhapatnam airport.
The global star was deeply moved by the “working woman,” who refused to accept charity.
She shared a post on her social media handle, saying, “So, I do not do this often. But I was very inspired today. I was driving to the Visakhapatnam airport on my way to Mumbai. And, I saw this woman, who was selling guavas. And, I love kaccha guavas.”
She continued, “I stopped her and I asked, ‘How much for all your guavas?’ And, she said, ‘Rs 150’. So, I gave her Rs 200 and she was trying to give me change. And, I said, ‘No, please keep it.’ She obviously sold guavas for a living. So, she went away for a little while. And, before the red light changed to green, she came back and she gave me two more guavas. A working woman – she did not want charity. (It) really moved me.”
In her post, PeeCee also shared a snapshot of fresh guavas, a behind the scene shot from the #SSMB29 set, and a video of cattle walking on the road.
