Priyanka is heard narrating the entire inspirational story and said: "So, I don't do this very often but I was very inspired today. I was driving to Visakhapatnam airport on my way to Mumbai on my way to New York and I saw this woman selling guavas."

"I love kaccha (raw) guavas so I stopped her and I asked her how much all the guavas are for and she said 'Rs. 150' so I gave her Rs 200 and she was trying to give me change and I said 'no, please keep it. '"

Priyanka added: ""She obviously sold guavas for a living so she went away for a little while and before the red light changed to green she came back and she gave me two more guavas. A working woman, she did not want charity. Really moved me."

On the work front, Priyanka is working on her highly-awaited project, "SSMB29".

Talking about "SSMB29", made under the direction of 'RRR' fame SS Rajamouli, the project will star Mahesh Babu in the lead. Touted to be a global adventure set across exotic locations, protagonist Mahesh Babu's role in the film is believed to be inspired by Lord Hanuman.

"SSMB29" will mark Priyanka's return to Telugu cinema after a long gap of 23 years. She last appeared in P Ravi Shankar's 2002 romantic entertainer "Apuroopam".
