10. Priyanka Chopra’s T-shirt Controversy
Priyanka Chopra was on the cover of an international magazine and it the T-shirt had the words ‘Refugee, Immigrant and Outsider’ struck off leaving ‘Traveller’ as the only right choice. Everyone felt the actress was insensitive to the plight of the refugees. The actress quickly issued an apology by saying, “I am really, really apologetic about the fact that sentiments were hurt. The point the magazine wanted to make was actually something good.” Priyanka Chopra did not elucidate further but it was probably her way of fighting racism. Because in the western world, brown or dark skin is usually associated with refugees, immigrants, and outsiders. But she probably she did not want to get into another controversy by trying to get out of one by making an anti-racist statement.
