Made me decide to make myself irreplacable.
But I think what really moved the needle for me and ultimately led me to create the Priyanka Chopra foundation for health and education and around the same time partner with UNICEF was encounter with my housekeeper's daughter.
About 12 years ago, I came home from set early one day and she was sitting in my library reading a book.
And she must have been eight or nine years old and I knew she loved reading.
So I asked her, I was like "this i s- I mean it's a weekday, why aren't you in school?"
And she says, "Oh, I don't go to school anymore."
So I went and asked her mother and I said, "Why isn't she in school?"
And her mom said that her family couldn't afford to send her and her brothers to school so they chose the boys.
The reason: she would eventaully get married and it would be a waste of money.
I was completely blown and it shook me to my core.
