Priyanka Chopra: I Guess I'm the Most Popular Brown Face That Everyone Has Known

PeeCee slammed Western media for confusing Deepika Padukone with her.

Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone have taken Hollywood by storm with their movie debuts and red carpet appearances. But, after all that there have been incidents where Deepika Padukone had been confused to be Priyanka Chopra. For instance, on LA airport, the Western media failed to recognise Deepika and called her 'Priyanka'.

Recently, in an interview with a leading Bollywood website, Priyanka shared her views about Deepika Padukone's 'identity crisis' in the West.

To that she said, "That's not fair and it's not right." She also admitted that she had watched videos of media confusing Deepika with her.

"I did see that and you know that's just ignorance and it's not right. I guess I'm the most popular brown face that everyone has known. Every brown girl does not look the same. Don't mistake it. Let's try and tell us apart. That was not right and it's not fair she's a massive star from India", Priyanka shared.

The Quantico star added, "But it's also, like I understand I guess. When I went to America for the first time, at least Deepika's had a film (xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage). When I went to America for the first time I would walk into the room and introduce myself. I don't expect people to know me either, because it's a different country. Just because I'm a popular star in India doesn't mean the whole world has to knows me. Just because I'm a Bollywood actor doesn't mean people who do not watch Hindi movies have to know me. I'm not entitled like that. I guess that is another aspect of this."

She is far more modest and doesnt have high expectations. I mean besides "I guess I am the most popular brown face" part. But she is right it was ignorance and is wrong.

If they confuse others with you then it means that you're not that popular FACE either. They just know a name. That's it. They don't know your face.

The way she said I dont expect everyone to know me because I am a bollywood actress was modest. I am calling PC modest for that statement. It doesnt mean she is modest in general.

I really didnt read that into it. She goes Deepika at least had a film. When I first went to America I had nothing. So I didnt see that as mocking.

But they call every brown girl as PC there which means she herself isn't much recognised

Random people are called Ryan Gosling, Mark Wahlberg, etc all the time. At an award show in Germany some random guy collected Ryan's award in front of everyone. Recognition is in the name which Priyanka has earned. Priyanka is the "top of mind" brown girl. She's the first brown girl everyone thinks about now so good for her
