Actress Priyanka Chopra’s interaction with her fans on Reddit on
Wednesday turned out to be quite an unpleasant affair as people kept
asking her about the justification of having a road named after her
father in Mumbai, her international music career and her collaboration
with Pitbull.
User agentbigman asked: “What contributions has your
father made that a road was named after him and not after countless
other people who strived and died for India?... the whole deal of
renaming a road unnecessarily is shady and reeks of corruption.”
While
PC chose to not answer the question, it got several hundred responses
from users like, “I will eat my hat if she answers this,” and, “This may
be the first AMA (Ask Me Anything) where the top comment is not
answered.”
Another user asked her, “Don’t you think that your
collaboration with Pitbull (Exotic) is racist (in that exotification is a
form of racism)??”
And PC came up with a prompt reply:
“Seriously? Just stop. The world doesn’t need more hate! Stop reading
into things. We are just two global artistes collaborating and sharing
our cultures. Stop trying to find the bad in good!”
There were
also comments on her choice of endorsements. “You keep promoting
fairness products... Why is it sub human to be dark skinned?” asked user
AWolfAtThedoor.
This question too, like several others, went
unanswered and hence someone commented: “Is this an AMA or AMAWA? (Ask
Me Anything Won’t Answer).”
1. Hi Priyanka,
Recently a road was renamed in Andheri, Mumbai after your
father. What was the reason that it was renamed? What contributions has
your father made that a road was renamed after him and not after
countless other people who strived and died for India? What made you
decide to nominate him and not other people for such a thing?
2. You endorse a host of cosmetic creams, don't you think that
these companies are preying on the insecurities of people ? How do you
justify your endorsements ?
Edit: Ms. Chopra, you "dared" to say "AsK Me Anything". Is this AMA being handled by your PR reps? and not you?
3. What is your opinion about bollywood directors balatently
ripping off international movies and, getting upset that their movies
are not accepted at internation film festivals?
4. Hi Priyanka! I just wanted to ask , kya aapke toothpaste main namak hai?
5. Have you seen The World Before Her ? You were a beauty
queen before you became an actress, do you think beauty paegants are a
bad influence on society (in that they set unrealistic benchmarks and
standards for society at large) ?
EDIT: She does not like my question I guess.
6. Hey Priyanka, I'm Dukes_Mangola. You may know me as a
redditor, internet gamer, former winner (7th place) of the State
cartography contest, son, brother and day-dreamer. My question is - my
laptop seems sluggish. Do you think I should download more RAM?
7. Hi Priyanka - You keep promoting fairness products for people to look like you. Why is it sub human to be dark skinned?
8. Will you stop singing?
9. Is this an AMA or AMAWA?
(Ask Me Anything Won't Answer)
10. How important is auto-tune in your singing career?
