“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.”
She also shared the pictures of guavas she bought along with some glimpses from the sets, her drive to the airport and a picture of a signboard which read: “Talamali”.
For the caption, Priyanka simply wrote: “Lately” along with a heart emoji.
On the work front, Priyanka was busy working on her highly-awaited project, “SSMB29”.
