The accompanying message says, " , (Hypocrisy of hypocrite film stars, will wear anything in India but will wear burqa when meeting extremist Rohingya Muslims in Bangladesh- translation).
Where is the Photograph From?
In 2011, Priyanka Chopra had starred in a movie directed by Vishal Bharadwaj named Saat Khoon Maaf'. It was for this movie that Chopra had donned a burqa. The photograph dates back to 2010. It was uploaded by Outlook on its website.
Actress Priyanka Chopra has been at the receiving end of right-wing trolling on social media in recent times. Recently, a controversial episode of the American television series Quantico which showed a Hindu extremist as part of a terror plot on New York had attracted much criticism and ridicule, coming shortly on the heels of her visit to the Rohingya refugee camp. Now, the actress is once again in the crosshairs and continues to be targeted relentlessly.
