Karishma Mehta, founder of Official Humans of Bombay says,
“If anyone ever tells you – ‘you’re too young’ or ‘you’re too old’ or that young girls are limited to certain career paths or that ‘women can’t’ – SHOW THEM THIS. SO stoked- big day for us all!”
Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas shares her thoughts on Twitter and says this – “Blown away by @TIME’s first-ever Kid of the Year, Gitanjali Rao! Only 15 years old & tackling issues ranging from contaminated drinking water to opioid addiction & cyber bullying. Thank you Gitanjali for leading the way for the next generation.”
