Priyanka Chopra lashes out at copycat comments

Not so long ago, BizAsia reported that Priyanka Chopra was compared with the likes of Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez because of her look in her music video ‘Exotic’ featuing Pitbull. The actress-turned-singer has laughed off the comments and also slammed her critics.

According to Business of Cinema, Chopra stated, “I believe there is no need to be judgemental. Women have been wearing net dresses for ages now. I have worn it myself so many times, recent instance being at TOIFA. It is one of the most common combinations for a sexy outfit”.

Chopra went on to express her idea of changing the way Bollywood music is looked upon by the western world, “I may not be the most path breaking artiste in the world but then, I have tried to do something different. I am trying to expose the world to Bollywood music without it being stereotypical. They say that an India song is bound to have 100 dancers in the background. We have done it differently here. I wanted India and I to go mainstream. If that is an effort which cannot be supported, then it�۪s fine”.

Incidentally, in a recent short TV interview, Chopra also revealed that she first made her late father listen to ‘Exotic’ when it was composed and that it was his favourite song.
