There’s no dearth of people who’ll pull you down even when you’re doing your best. And if you’re a celebrity, the scrutiny and nitpicking is never ending.
Priyanka Chopra has been enjoying her most prolific year and after attending the Toronto International Film Festival, the actress, who’s also a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador, headed to Jordan to meet Syrian refugee kids.
She interacted with Syrian refugee children affected by the violence and civil war in their homeland. Jordan has given shelter to millions of Syrian refugees and Chopra took to Twitter and shared a series of posts about the time she spent in the region with the kids.
Let’s take this trip together… let’s open our eyes & hearts to the #ChildrenUprooted in the Syrian Refugee crisis.https://t.co/TZ9vrXxPk5 pic.twitter.com/aK36IUmBpk

While she was busy encouraging the Syrian refugee kids, a man decided to discount her efforts by tweeting that she should rather visit the impoverished areas of India.
I would request @priyankachopra that do visit rural areas of India where malnourished kids waiting for food. #MissionForChildren https://t.co/VTKdrRBUkr

But the former Miss World isn’t one to take such things lying down and has always stood up to haters.
She gave a fitting response to the man and you bet he’s going to remember it forever.
