An insider says, “Priyanka was approached for the campaign, and she is keen to do it too. But they never spoke about the money. She has been actively working for many causes, and the idea of promoting tourism for an Indian state appealed to her. She isn’t in the country until December, as she is busy shooting for her American show. She is also looking forward to the release of her Hollywood film. But she really wants to be part of this campaign, and will take a call on it soon.”
Since Assam is facing a huge financial crisis and had also got affected by floods, there were reports that people in the state were very upset with Priyanka’s demand .
Well, the clarification by Priyanka’s spokesperson has indeed has put the controversy to the rest and we are hoping to see our desi girl soon promoting the state.
In the past, many other Bollywood celebrities, including Amitabh Bachchan (for Gujarat), and Aamir Khan (for Incredible India), have promoted tourism campaigns.
