At the prestigious Harvard Business School, Priyanka Chopra delivered a stirring speech that captured the essence of aspiration and change during India Week’s grand finale. The theme, ‘The India We Imagine,’ set the stage for revelations that resonated deeply with the Indian student body present.
Sharing poignant snapshots on social media, the star expressed how the audience transformed her perspective instantly. ‘Looking at you, I knew: you are that envisioned India,’ she posted. She delved into her past—teen years spent in American schools like Cedar Rapids in Iowa and Newton North in Massachusetts, eras marked by cultural solitude.
‘Who’d have thought I’d stand here 30 years on, addressing a hall alive with Indian energy?’ The contrast was emotional; isolation had given way to solidarity. Tears welled as she noted, ‘Your world is brighter than mine was. I’m grateful my child has role models like you.’
Honoring forebears’ sacrifices, Priyanka encouraged resilience, wisdom, and benevolence. ‘Aim high, be kind to self and others.’ She profusely thanked collaborator Anjula Acharia, her supportive husband and daughter amid Valentine’s Week, and the loving crowd. ‘Peace and love always.’
This appearance cements Priyanka’s role as a bridge between cultures, inspiring a new wave of Indian achievers at the world’s top institutions and signaling India’s ascendant narrative on the global stage.
