A Pakistani woman, who identified herself on Twitter later as Ayesha Malik, called out the Dostana actor regarding a questionable tweet she sent out earlier this year when tensions were at an all time high between Pakistan and India.

In a video that started circulating on social media, we see Ayesha saying, “It was hard hearing you talk about humanity, because as your neighbour, a Pakistani, I know you’re a bit of a hypocrite, you tweeted on February 26: ‘Jai Hind! #IndianArmedForces.’ You are a UNICEF ambassador for peace and you are encouraging nuclear war against Pakistan.”
Hi, I’m the girl that “yelled” at Priyanka Chopra.
It was hard listening to her say, “we should be neighbors and love each other” — swing that advice over to your PM.
Both India and Pakistan were in danger. And instead she tweeted out in favor for nuclear war.

“There is no winner in this. As a Pakistani, millions of people, like, me, have supported you in your business…”
At this point, security takes away the mic from Ayesha and Chopra responds, “Whenever you’re done ranting. Got it, done? Okay cool.”
Instead of properly replying to a legitimate question, the actor went on to patronise the woman, saying: “I have many, many friends from Pakistan and I am from India and war is not something I’m really fond of but I am patriotic so I’m sorry if I hurt sentiments of people who do love me and have loved me.

But I think all of us have a sort of middle ground that we have to walk, just like you probably have to as well, the way you just came at me…Girl, don’t yell, we’re all here for love. You’re embarrassing yourself.
“Well, we all walk that middle ground. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your question and your voice,” she added.
Yikes, someone tell her that there are no ifs and buts when it comes to war.
Putting the cattiness of her replies aside, the actor never really addressed the question at hand
Priyanka Chopra pulled all the tricks in the book. She was condescending.
She said she has Pakistani friends like how racists say they have black friends.
She mocked the girl by using the term venting when a UN ambassador is supposed to listen to people.— Arya Suresh (@thecuriouself) August 12, 2019
For someone who talks a lot about empowering women, Priyanka sure didn’t speak up when security snatched the mic from Ayesha.

TLDR Priyanka Chopra will never be the woke brown role model you want her to be! https://t.co/zaSCmrMXDL

Priyanka Chopra’s response is dangerous. Hollywood liberals should keep this video in mind when they decide to offer her more work. You can’t critique Trump in one breath at the Oscars and then in the other support actors who do this. pic.twitter.com/6iGBnhTH0i

Lesson 1 of the ‘feminism’ you keep cashing in on: don’t infantilize and gaslight women @priyankachopra https://t.co/WSFhEWWlXr
