Motivational speaker Jay Shetty shared Priyanka’s video on his Instagram story. In the video, Priyanka has said, “Each and every one of you is here today because you are excellent in what you do. I came ten years ago and started looking for work in America. We went out there and met everyone else. But today, I am not someone else. Today, I stand amongst peers, amongst colleagues, amongst South Asian excellence. I have goosebumps, I am emotional, it makes me very proud.”
