This week, Priyanka Chopra found herself at the center of an online uproar triggered by a food-themed video that sparked heated debates. Yet, her silence was fleeting. A snippet from the "Heads of State" premiere rapidly gained viral status, capturing the moment she opted for a hot dog over a vada pav. Soon, social media buzzed with queries about her continued affinity for Indian cuisine.
In the video, Priyanka engaged in a lively food-centric round during a red carpet interview, her responses both playful and genuine. The Desigirl revealed that her mood dictated her choice between samosas and empanadas, playfully answering "both" when faced with the dilemma of enchiladas versus chicken tikka masala. However, the tide turned when presented with the choice between vada pav and a hot dog. Without hesitation, she confessed her love for vada pav but admitted that hot dogs were her Achilles' heel.
That seemingly innocent revelation stirred a digital tempest. A content creator shared the clip, appending a caption that questioned her allegiance to Indian street food, igniting a wave of backlash.
Undeterred, Priyanka swiftly addressed the furor on Instagram, her message unapologetic and clear: "Wow, bro! Had no idea there was a curriculum for being desi. It's really not that deep." Meanwhile, she gears up for her highly anticipated return to Indian cinema with SSMB 29, helmed by the acclaimed SS Rajamouli, whose credits include the blockbuster RRR.
