After ruling the roost in Hollywood with her innumerable appearances and accolades, Priyanka Chopra is out winning it for us, for the entire nation. Looks like her legacy would not be stop but another achievement has been added to her list. While the ‘Baywatch‘ is still to roll out PeeCee’s dare-devilishness, she was recently in the spotlight of a global event and the reason couldn’t have made us more proud!
Actress Priyanka Chopra, appointed as UNICEF’s newest global Goodwill Ambassador, urged people from across nations to become the ‘collective voice’ of oppressed children in the world and join forces to leave a better future for the coming generations. The Quantico actress was appointed a Global Goodwill ambassador for UNICEF to aid in children’s rights along the likes of Beckham himself and Hollywood actors Orlando Bloom and Jackie Chan amongst others. Priyanka took to Instagram to post a few picture of the event where she was inducted. Footballer David Beckham and 12-year-old British actress Millie Bobby Brown announced Chopra’s appointment as UNICEF’s newest global Goodwill Ambassador at a star-studded celebration here on Monday night to commemorate 70 years of the world body’s children’s agency.
“My wish for children is freedom. The freedom to think, the freedom to live,” Chopra said, addressing top UN diplomats, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors and children at the event. She said while man has made unprecedented advancements in every sphere of life, children across the world remain unprotected from violence, abuse and exploitation. “I, we ask you to join us today to become the collective voice of the oppressed children across the world in our fight against the injustices that they have to endure everyday,” she said.
UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake was reportedly all praise for the Baywatch actress, saying, “Priyanka Chopra is already a champion for India’s children — and as a UNICEF global Goodwill Ambassador, she will be a force for children and adolescents everywhere.” The Bajirao Mastani star later thanked Beckham and Brown for welcoming her into the UNICEF’s international family.
