Priyanka Chopra must have regretted a recent online chat with fans, which was promoted as Ask Me Anything'.
Internet trolls took full advantage of the free-flow question and answer session. While Chopra refused to answer much of the personal questions, she could not ignore some of the abused that was hurled at her.
Some of the absurd questions that were put to Chopra were Kya aapke toothpaste mein namak hain (Does your toothpaste have salt in it)?" - to uncomfortable - "Recently a road was renamed in Andheri, Mumbai after your father. What was the reason that it was renamed? What contributions has your father made that a road was renamed after him and not after countless other people who strived and died for India? What made you decide to nominate him and not other people for such a thing?"
Other bizarre questions that were asked included, "How important is Auto-Tune in your singing career?", "what is your opinion about Bollywood directors blatantly ripping off international movies and getting upset that their movies are accepted at international film festivals?" - a reference to Priyanka's film Barfi!
NDTV reports that among the handful of questions that Priyanka did answer was one asking for her opinion on legalizing homosexuality in India. The Gunday star wrote, "I believe that people should be free to live the way they want to. Love is love and not defined by whether you are homosexual or heterosexual! Very simply, I believe in the adage to each his/her own.' I firmly believe that everyone is entitled to their own sexual preferences."
In what seem like a relief for Chopra, she signed off the chat with the following, "This has been interesting. Thank you guys for your time. I'm sorry I could not get to everyone's questions but I hope you enjoyed this as well."
