Kangana Ranaut defends Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ controversial patriotism
Kangana Ranaut has voiced her defence of Priyanka Chopra Jonas after the superstar found herself in hot water following a controversial tweet which openly displayed her patriotism towards India, amidst a politically tumultuous time with Pakistan.
The tweet was seen by many – including Ayesha Malik and Pakistan’s Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari – as distasteful due especially in light of Chopra’s position as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, deeming her a hypocrite.
Ranaut empathised with Chopra Jonas, however, saying to ETimes, “It’s not an easy choice to make… when you are stuck between your duty and your emotions, being a UNICEF goodwill ambassador sure you can’t limit your identity to one nation, but how many of us choose heart over mind every day?”
