Priyanka slammed for political response

PRIYANKA Chopra landed in hot water over the weekend at BeautyCon LA for her response to a fan calling her a hypocrite for her pro-India stance on the ongoing conflict with Pakistan. The Isn’t It Romantic star has been trending for the better part of the weekend, after a video of her “condescending” response started circulating in an exchange with a BeautyCon attendee. In the video, a woman named Ayesha called Chopra a hypocrite for being a Unicef ambassador but promoting nuclear war against Pakistan. This was in reference to her tweeting “Jai Hind #IndianArmedForces”, which translates to “Long Live India”, on the same day an Indian fighter jet bombed a Pakistani military camp. While Ayesha was explaining her grievances towards Chopra and stating that she supported her when she was just a Bollywood star, the microphone was ripped away from her by security. Chopra said: “I have many, many friends in Pakistan and I am from India. War isn’t something I’m very fond of but I am patriotic. “Girl, don’t yell, we’re all here for love. Don’t yell, don’t embarrass yourself.” Tweeps did not agree with Chopra’s choice of words or tone. “Priyanka Chopra was very dismissive and condescending in her response to that very valid question.” @agapetamar) “Priyanka Chopra pulled all the tricks in the book. She was condescending. She said she has Pakistani friends like how racists say they have black friends. She mocked the girl by using the term venting when a UN ambassador is supposed to listen to people.”– thecuriouself)
