In an interview on sidelines, Priyanka said, “I just become an actor, and I was figuring out that I h this platform. I h started associating with causes that I believed were important. I was working with thalassemic children, childen’s wards and suddenly I realised  me, that I was working a lot for kids. My n manr told me that re was an organisation called UNICEF and that I should just volunteer because y worked around every vertical of benefitting kids and kids’ rights. So I started reing up a lot more. Obviously, I knew about UNICEF, but I also started volunteering my time and whatever y needed from me. In a couple of years I became a National Ambassor in India. I think two years ago, I became a global ambassor for UNICEF, so journey has w been for 13 years. But whenever people think about volunteering, just remember that it’s t about intention, it’s about action. You can think about it, you can be a great person, and you can empathise, but unless you do something about it, you still are doing just thing. And that sort of le me to volunteer.”
