[ad_1]
Priyanka Chopra is a global star. Whatever she says or does becomes news. Recently, the actress took to her Instagram stories to congratulate Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy. She is the first woman and person of colour to direct a Star Wars film. She is a Pakistani-Canadian director and producer known for documentary films like Saving Face, A Girl in the River and more. She is going to be helming Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. Priyanka made a post to celebrate the same and called Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy ‘South Asian’. This did not go down well with Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui. He tweeted that Priyanka Chopra should have mentioned that Sharmeen is a Pakistani and then a South Asian.
Adnan Siddiqui tweeted that Sharmeen is a Pakistani first and Priyanka Chopra should have acknowledged it given that she makes use of all the opportunities to flaunt her Indian nationality. The tweet read, “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.” Many have commented on the tweet and taken Adnan Siddiqui’s side. Priyanka Chopra is on the receiving end of the same. However, there are some who have also sided with the actress. The Citadel actress is yet to respond to Adnan Siddiqui’s tweet.
