Priyanka and Sarah Gellar in awe of each other

In an interview the 33-year-old ‘Quantico’ actor said that during her school days in the USA she used to look up to 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.’ “But when I went back to India at the age of 17 and started travelling for work, that was when I slowly realised that we don’t all look like one person,” Priyanka said.

Gellar, 39, who was touched by the praise, took to Twitter to thank the Baywatch actor. “@priyankachopra I love watching you (and all that you represent) so you can imagine how honoured I was at the mention,” she wrote.

Priyanka replied back to the Cruel Intentions star thanking her for helping her overcome tough times. “Thank you for the kind words @SarahMGellar Buffy got me through some rough years in high school. Much love. @latimes,” she tweeted.
