Mother Madhu Chopra told the daily: "It gives me immense joy that Priyanka's work for various social causes is being appreciated and felicitated. She deserves the honour."

Priyanka is really a superwoman, who has all the time in the world for everything in her short trip to India. She was here to be on a vacation with her family during New Year. But her appearances on shows and events don't look like a vacation. Well, this is why we live the actress.
