Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently got slammed by Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui after the actress dubbed Pakistani director Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy as South Asian while congratulating her on Instagram for directing a Star Wars film. Siddiqui did not like the way Priyanka addressed her on social media. Read on for more.
Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, for the unversed, is an Academy Award-winning and International Emmy Award-winning director and journalist. Sharmeen is all set to be the first person of colour and the first woman to direct a Star Wars film.
Speaking on the same lines, according to The Times of India, Priyanka Chopra on her Instagram stories, congratulated Sharmeen, writing, “First person of colour and the first woman to direct a ‘Star Wars’ film…and she’s South Asian!! What a historic moment @sharmeenobaidchinoy. So so proud of you, my friend! May the force be with you!” This did not go down well with the Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui as he quickly took to Twitter to express his displeasure. With an intention to school Priyanka Chopra, Adnan on Twitter wrote, “With due respect, @priyankachopra Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a Pakistani first just to brush up your knowledge. Much like the way you flaunt your Indian nationality whenever you get the opportunity before claiming to be a South Asian.”
