She said, “I am fortunate that the government of Assam has appointed me as the tourism ambassador of the state and I will take the state, its people, food, wildlife, greenery, culture and food to the global stage and truly show the world how awesome Assam is. The true essence of Assam and the Northeast is not appreciated fully in India and maybe even the world does not know much about it, but I am committed to present the incredible part of Assam’s diversity and unity to the outside world in the right perspective.”

She further said that she takes incredible pride in her country and every part of it. “Assam is a part of India and I am as much a part of this state as any other part of the country…. As such, I can claim to be an Honorary Assamese,” the actress said.

PeeCee said that though each of the seven states of Northeast may have a different essence, all are beautiful in their own way. “I have travelled with Mary to Manipur and had earlier come to Guwahati when my uncle was posted here and also after becoming Miss India for different fashion shows. The experiences in Manipur and Assam are different but both have been beautiful,” the actress said.

Priyanka concluded saying that she was looking forward to experience the Brahmaputra, wildlife, particularly rhinos, trekking, mountaineering and rafting.
