Priyanka Chopra is making her debut with beachside film Baywatch
Actress Sarah Michelle Gellar was Priyanka Chopra's childhood idol
Priyanka Chopra is also the star of ABC's popular TV show Quantico
In an interview to latimes, the 33-year-old Quantico actress said that during her school days in the USA, she used to look up to Ms Gellar as Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
"When I was in high school in America, I didn't see anyone, who looked like me hardly ever. I just thought that was normal because you don't know any better. So I used to idolise so many other people like Sarah Michelle Gellar on Buffy the Vampire Slayer," said Priyanka.
"But when I went back to India at age 17 and started travelling for work, that was when I slowly realised that we don't all look like one person," Priyanka said.
Ms Gellar, 39, who was touched by the praise, thanked the Baywatch actress on Twitter. She wrote: "Priyanka Chopra, I watching you (and all that you represent) so you can imagine how honored I was at the mention."
This is how Priyanka replied to the Cruel Intentions star: "Thank you for the kind words Sarah Michelle Gellar. Buffy got me through some rough years in high school. Much love."
