Apart from giving us some powerful performances in movies like Fashion, Mary Kom and Bajirao Mastani among others, Priyanka Chopra is also known for taking up social causes. The actress has been a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF for over a decade now and has been associated with many awareness programmes for UNICEF. Recently, the actress was in Jordan for an initiative by UNICEF to educate the Syrian kids.
While Priyanka took to Instagram and posted a few photographs and videos of interacting with the kids, a social media user took the opportunity to troll her. The man in question took to Twitter and asked Priyanka why she chose Jordan and not India. Here’s what his tweet said, “I would request Priyanka Chopra that do visit rural areas of India where malnourished kids waiting for food.”

Unfazed with his question, Priyanka, who is known for her outspoken nature, took to Twitter and gave a befitting reply. She wrote: “I’ve worked w/ @UNICEFIndia for 12 yrs&visited many such places. What have u done @RavindraGautam_ ?Y is 1 childs prob less imp than another?” lies displaced.”
Soon after she replied against the troll, Twitterati couldn’t help themselves from reacting and applauded the 35-year-old actress. Check out the tweets here:

She can’t do all the work, she can’t be everywhere. You can do it and everyone can. She is doing what she can, and you didn’t respect it
