The actor’s shout-out also coincided with a sharp rise in Yashoda’s social media reach. Her Instagram account now has more than 583,000 followers, while her YouTube channel has crossed 400,000 followers.

In the caption accompanying her video, Yashoda said she does not own a television and does not closely follow celebrities. She explained that this meant she was initially unaware of the attention her content was receiving from prominent personalities.

‘Never underestimate your small efforts’

Reflecting on Priyanka’s gesture, Yashoda said the moment was particularly meaningful because of her journey from working in a village to having her content noticed by someone she admires.

She thanked Priyanka for appreciating and sharing her work and said the recognition had given her happiness and motivation to continue learning, working and creating content.

Yashoda also shared a message with her followers, urging them not to underestimate small efforts because they never know who might be watching their work.
