Priyanka Chopra on Kamala Harris: Actor Priyanka Chopra is one of the many people who celebrated the first female Vice-President of United States of America Kamala Harris. Recently, Chopra appeared on a late-night television chat show hosted by Stephen Colbert and she took the opportunity to praise Harris. 

When Stephen Colbert asked Priyanka Chopra about what she felt as a South Asian woman herself when Kamala Harris became the Vice-President of America, Chopra said that is was an emotional moment for her friends and family but she added that coming from a country like India has seen many women in becoming the President and Prime Minister, it was high time for America to finally have that. 

"You know, welcome to the club, America. That’s what I’ll say. High time, I hope this isn’t the first,” she said. Kamala Harris is the first woman ever to become the Vice-President of America, she is also the first South Asian and first Black person to do so. 

.“I hope there are many, many because this is what governance should look like. Leadership looks amazing especially when it is diverse and reflective of what the world really looks like,” Chopra added.

The video clip of the interview has since gone viral on the internet as her fans couldn't happier about Priyanka Chopra's answer who made India's position on female representation in governance clear and possibly higher than America. Social media users applauded Priyanka Chopra for it.

Nice depiction of facts! As @priyankachopra said in an interview with @StephenAtHome re having a South Asian Veep in the US, "Welcome aboard, America!" I'm a big supporter of #BidenHarris, btw, but it IS about time for the US to have a woman on top as well.
