Having watched Anushka's production NH10, Priyanka was all praise for the latter for keeping the flag of "girl power" flying high.

"Der aaye durust aaye. Just saw NH10 @AnushkaSharma! So proud of you. As a woman, an actor and a producer. Keep the flag flying high babe #GirlPower," the National Award winning actor posted on Twitter on Friday.

She added: "So good to see such amazing content driven films led by girls! it was so hard to get people to believe in us when I started. We were always second.
