Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra took to Twitter to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reminding her of Mahatma Gandhi’s saying which reads-‘ Be the change you want to see’. The former Miss World and Bollywood actress had volunteered to clean up a slum in the city and make it hospitable. She also vowed to rehabilitate families that lived in the vicinity by making the surrounding clean. On Monday, PeeCee tweeted the link to a video that showed her and her team cleaning up a locality in the city and removing heaps of garbage. The PM appreciated her for her commitment towards his ‘Clean India Campaign’ or the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’, an initiate to make India a clean country. In response to the PM’s tweet, Priyanka wrote:

Gandhiji said 'Be the change you want to see'- thank you @narendramodi for reminding me of that! #MyCleanIndia can happen! #ChangingMindsets — PRIYANKA (@priyankachopra) November 24, 2014

On October 2, which happens to be Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary, PM Modi had launched the ‘Clean India Campaign’ and had nominated 8 celebrities and the cast of ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasma’ to take part in the campaign. He had also urged them to nominate nine others to keep the chain moving. Priyanka was one among the 8 celebrities to me nominated by the PM.
