Singer Nicole Scherzinger struggled hard to answer a question about the Pakistani teenage-activist Malala Yousafzai because she "did not know her story".

The 35-year-old UK 'X Factor' judge stumbled over an interviewer's question about Malala, during an event recently, reported New York Daily News.

When a reporter asked what Scherzinger thought about the young woman's courage, the singer said, "Malala? I don't know that story that well, but is she still."

The reporter promptly filled her with Malala's background, to which she quickly responded.

"Amazing. She's a righteous, empowering, powerful woman, and God bless her," Scherzinger said.

Malala was shot by the Taliban a year ago for fighting for girls' right to education. She was also nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
 

Recently, former football star David Beckham presented Malala with the Teenager of Courage Award.
