Earlier this week Priyanka Chopra met our Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin. Trolls think Priyanka Chopra, in a lovely white dress, was improperly dressed to meet our Prime Minister in Berlin. Priyanka’s colleagues disagree.

Bollywood celebs react to trolls who termed Priyanka Chopra dressing style while meeting PM Narendra Modi improper

Dia Mirza: “I'm glad Priyanka Chopra chose to be herself and not play a part scripted by misogyny. Trolls are only a mirror to the patriarchal mind-set that imposes which a woman should or should not wear to qualify her dignity. We seem to care more for posturing than we do for truth.”

Pooja Bedi: “Priyanka represents the modern Indian woman. It was a beautiful dress. What is inappropriate are trolls making something so normal into something abnormal.”

Richa Chadda: “I didn't know there was a dress code to meet our public servant at the highest post. She wasn't visiting a gurudwara or temple, that needed some compulsory head cover. Just goes to show that trolls are sexist, and no matter what a woman's achievement, they want to discuss what she was wearing. Or that we are so deprived that all we see is legs. I am certain our PM who believes in Beti Bachao Beti Padhao will condemn these trolls.”

Kabir Bedi: “Priyanka Chopra did nothing wrong by wearing a dress when she met Prime Minister Modi. To objectors I say: Wake up, sleeping beauties, it's the 21st century!”

Khushboo: “Definitely not. There is no written rule that one has to be attired in a particular costume to meet anyone. She is entitled to wear what she wants. It's her words and her behaviour which will decide the respect towards the PM.”
