‘Women need to be responsible for their finances’: Priyanka Chopra

In one of her speeches, Priyanka Chopra, while speaking about fashion and beauty, and demanding diversity and inclusion, also raised an important point — that of women empowerment and financial independence.

On a global stage, the actor said that the essence of the problem is the lack of opportunities for women. “The more opportunities we create for each other, the more sisterhood will grow”.

She recalled starting work when she was 17 years old, with her mother encouraging her that “women should be financially independent.” “It doesn’t matter who your father is or who your husband will be,” Chopra said. “You need to be responsible for your finances and be financially independent. That really stuck with me.”
