Priyanka
Chopra
gets
SUPPORT
from
Varun
Dhawan
over
Quantico
controversy
|
FilmiBeat
Twitter
was
ablaze
when
Priyanka
Chopra's
Quantico
series
was
aired
last
week
and
a
lot
of
angry
Indians
lashed
out
against
the
television
show
for
showing
Indian
nationals
as
terrorists
who
plan
to
blow
up
Manhattan,
New
York,
ahead
of
the
Kashmir
summit,
just
to
frame
it
on
Pakistan.
The
issue
went
on
for
a
few
days
and
ABC
had
to
apologise
for
hurting
the
sentiments
of
Indians.
Varun
Dhawan
and
Ayushmann
Khurrana
have
come
out
in
support
of
Priyanka
Chopra
by
saying
she
had
nothing
to
do
with
the
storyline
and
she's
a
proud
Indian,
just
like
everybody
else.
Varun
Dhawan
opened
up
by
saying,
"To
end
it,
Priyanka
Chopra
has
made
the
entire
country
very
proud
and
we
stand
by
her.
There's
nothing
else."
Ayushmann
Khurrana
was
quoted
as
saying,
"When
you
play
a
character,
you
have
your
own
thought
and
that
can't
be
right
or
wrong.
You're
following
a
script,
a
director
and
that's
your
first
responsibility...There
are
all
kinds
of
opinions,
you
will
get
backlash
when
you
take
one
side.
You
can't
escape
this."
Also,
a
few
days
ago,
Priyanka
Chopra
had
apologised
on
Twitter
and
doused
the
fire
before
it
could
spiral
out
of
hand.
She
tweeted,
"I'm
extremely
saddened
and
sorry
that
some
sentiments
have
been
hurt
by
a
recent
episode
of
Quantico.
That
was
not
and
would
never
be
my
intention.
I
sincerely
apologise.
I'm
a
proud
Indian
and
that
will
never
change."
Even
film-maker
Pooja
Bhatt
came
out
in
support
of
Priyanka
Chopra
recently
by
tweeting,
"When
Priyanka
Chopra
makes
a
mark
for
herself
Internationally
we
claim
her
achievements
as
our
own
&
then
threaten
to
ban
her
films
&
make
her
apologise
for
a
work
of
fiction
that
has
been
created
by
someone
else.
Can
we
please
attempt
to
be
larger
than
that?"
