Fans' Angry Tweets:
Fans were angry as Priyanka, who is pretty active on social media, managed to promot a beauty campaign, but didn't care to make a tweet expressing concern for the people in Assam despite being the brand ambassador of Assam Tourism.
Many took to Twitter to request Priyanka to talk about the ongoing havoc and urge her fans to help the state with whatever they can.
On the professional front, Priyanka has been rather busy. The actress, who was last seen in 'Jai Gangaajal', is all set to make her comeback to Bollywood with Shonali Bose's The Sky Is Pink. The film, that features Zaira Wasim and Farhan Akhtar in the lead roles, is all set to hit the big screens on October 11. Based on the life of the motivational speaker Aisha Chaudhary, who was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, The Sky Is Pink is co-produced by Priyanka, Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur.
