Cause not only is she super inspiring and impressive with absolute girl boss energy… but also the warmest! She knew who I am… said my name and hugged… and once I corrected the pronunciation (story of every first meeting) she repeated it multiple times so she doesn’t forget. I mean… And she is crackling in @citadelonprime. @priyankachopra you are (heart and fire emojis). Thank you for so much warmth! And reinstating my belief ‘good things happen to good people’!”
