Priyanka Chopra has partnered with Facebook India for a live event called #SocialForG­ood to spread awareness on issues like mental health, cyber bullying and women entreprene­urship.

#SocialForG­ood will be a four-hourlong live event, which will take place on November 27 on Facebook.

Talking about the event and influence of social media on social issues, Chopra said in a statement: “There is no denying the power of social media. It is a force which once unleashed, is difficult to control or stop. Its force comes from the huge influence it wields and recognisin­g that means, using it well, to do some good.

“I have personally witnessed the positive effects of social media in bringing awareness and action to many of the causes I hold dear to my heart. The right content can make all the difference.”

The actress feels the idea to use it “to bring awareness to causes that matter, celebrate some real-life stories and also inspire people to do their bit for the community” is fantastic.

“I am looking forward to this partnershi­p with Facebook. May the Force to spread the good, be with all of us #SocialForG­ood,” she added.
