LOS ANGELES: Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra has reiterated that she is not pro-war, clearing the air on an incident where a Pakistani woman had accused the actor of supporting nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
Priyanka was severely criticized by Pakistani people on social media for a tweet following India’s February airstrike in Balakot area of Pakistan. She had tweeted, “Jai Hind #IndianArmedForces”.
Later, at an event in US, the former Miss World and Hollywood headliner was accused of being a “hypocrite” and “encouraging nuclear war against Pakistan” by a Pakistani woman named Ayesha Malik.
In an interview with Daily Beast, Priyanka was asked about the incident, which she said was “unfortunate” as she has always maintained her anti-war stance.
“A couple of things. I feel like this is not an opportune moment to talk about it. Second of all, it was unfortunate what happened, and third of all, I never have, never was, and never will be pro-war and that is in my statements itself.
“My work for all of these years is a testament to that, and I don’t feel I need to keep regurgitating it,” the 37-year-old actor said. (AGENCIES)
