During an interaction with media, Priyanka said, "I am not born in Assam. But being an Indian, I feel Assam is a huge part of the country and also an incredible part of the nation."
“Assam is known in India and also abroad due to its rich culture, unity among the various tribes and beautiful nature. Assam always attracts me and I am thankful thay I have been given an opportunity to promote the state globally,” Priyanka Chopra said.
Earlier, the 'Baywatch' actress, who was wearing an Assamese traditional attaire, offered her prayer at Maa Kamakhya temple in Guwahati.
