The world knows that. You are a role model to all the girls and boys that want to make this world a betterplace for the future.”, said Priyanka.
"Spending a few hours with you and your incredible father Mr Yousafzai (who reminds me so much of my father), I realised you're also just a young girl with young dreams. Your jokes, your love for Hindi Films, your infectious laughter will always remind me of what a huge responsibility you have taken on at such a tender age... I'm so proud to know you my friend. You inspire women like me all over the world. Can't wait to speak to you in our secret Hindi/Urdu again," Priyanka wrote giving her fans an insight into her meeting with the young activist.
