Malala Yousafzai had a sweet run-in with a stranger while attending a performance of “The Kite Runner” on Broadway in New York City on Thursday.
An insider tells Page Six exclusively that after the curtains closed, an elderly woman walked by the Pakistani-born education activist with her caretaker, who immediately recognized Malala.
“Do you know who this is?” the caretaker asked.
The older woman turned to the 25-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner, who is often referred to by just her first name, and asked, “Who are you?”
“My name is Malala,” she responded.
When the moniker didn’t ring a bell, the elder asked, “How should I know you?”
“I wrote a book,” Malala answered, to which the woman, clearly not satisfied with the response, requested the title.
“‘I Am Malala,’” the Oxford University graduate replied, referencing her best-selling 2013 memoir.
