Even if you’re not her fan, let’s hand it to the dusky babe Priyanka Chopra. She is not just smart in picking films (Fashion and Mary Kom being two examples) but also knows her social duties as a celebrity who is loved by the masses.

Priyanka C has written an article for the New York Times on, wait for it, the necessity of educating girls, especially in South Asia. To make her case she has cited examples of a few young women, including that of the always inspiring Malala Yousufzai. Well, way to go Priyanka C. You for sure are heading in the right direction. By the way, do you have any political ambitions?
