Priyanka Chopra, who met Nobel Laureate Malala Yousufzai, says she is in awe of the teenager.

Priyanka, a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, shared a picture with Malala on Instagram and hailed her for her efforts in empowering and inspiring young girls.

'I could write a novel about how smart, incredible, inspiring, encouraging and funny this young woman is... But I will keep it brief.'

'Malala, you are an undeniable force to be reckoned with. The world knows that.'

'You are a role model to all the girls and boys that want to make this world a better place for the future.'

'Spending a few hours with you and your incredible father Mr Yousafzai (who reminds me so much of my father), I realised you're also just a young girl with young dreams.'

'Your jokes, your love for Hindi Films, your infectious laughter will always remind me of what a huge responsibility you have taken on at such a tender age...'

'I'm so proud to know you my friend. You inspire women like me all over the world.'

'Can't wait to speak to you in our secret Hindi/Urdu again,' Priyanka wrote giving her fans an insight into her meeting with the young activist.

Malala, who joined Twitter recently, posted a photo with the actor writing, 'Can't believe I met Priyanka Chopra'.

The 35-year-old actor was quick to reply, tweeting, 'Oh Malala no words will be enough...I can't believe I..met..U!! You're just a young girl with so much heart..and such achievements.so proud.'

Priyanka also met American feminist Gloria Steinem at the United Nations.

'It was so incredible to be on a panel with @gloriasteinem. An icon to the world and definitely one of mine all my life. A true feminist,' PeeCee wrote alongside a picture with Steinem.
