A lot of celebrity’s (across the globe) are performative activists. By this I mean their activism is largely a self-serving exercise utilised to bolster their public image. However, in almost all her public output, Priyanka seems to be entirely inauthentic, she is so blatantly and glaringly putting on an act whenever she makes an appearance.
This is the woman who claims to be pro racial equality, and yet emphasised the fact that she was bullied by *black* girls at School, and completely dismissed the #OscarSoWhite campaign.
This is the woman who claims to be a humanitarian and yet tweeted out pro war sentiments, and no ‘patriotism’ does not justify gunning for war.
This is the woman who promoted skin lightening in India and then in the US claimed to be against colourism.
She’s just very banal. Nothing of substance comes out of her mouth and the general public see that and get turned off.
Add to that the fact that she attempts to put on an intellectual persona without doing adequate research, and your left with an actress who not only comes across as lacking sincerity but also seems pretentious and unfortunately unintelligent. The most obvious example of this is her incessant and completely incorrect use of the word ‘bifurcate’ in her interview with The Guardian.
