Some
time
back,
Priyanka
Chopra
was
criticized
for
her
reaction
to
a
Pakistani
woman
who
confronted
her
about
encouraging
war.
In
a
recent
interview,
Priyanka
talked
about
the
controversy,
clarified
her
position
on
what
she
was
accused
of
by
the
Pak
woman,
and
stated
her
views
on
calls
for
her
removal
as
a
UN
ambassador.
At
the
Beautycon
event
which
happened
in
LA
a
few
months
back,
a
woman
in
the
audience
confronted
Priyanka
about
a
tweet,
which
in
her
opinion,
seemed
to
encourage
war
between
two
nuclear
armed
countries,
India
and
Pakistan.
The
woman
fiercely
argued
that
Priyanka
should
be
more
responsible
as
a
UN
ambassador,
to
which
Priyanka
responded,
"Girl,
don't
yell."
This
reaction
of
Priyanka's
was
criticized
by
many.
In
an
interview
with
the
Daily
Beast,
Priyanka
addressed
the
controversy
and
said,
"I
feel
like
this
is
not
an
opportune
moment
to
talk
about
it.
Second
of
all,
it
was
unfortunate
what
happened,
and
third
of
all,
I
never
have,
never
was,
and
never
will
be
pro-war
and
that
is
in
my
statements
itself.
My
work
for
all
of
these
years
is
a
testament
to
that,
and
I
don't
feel
I
need
to
keep
regurgitating
it."
"I
feel
that
influence
is
an
extremely
important
power,
and
it
has
a
lot
of
responsibility
that
comes
with
it," she
continued,
adding,
"It
doesn't
have
the
responsibility
that
heads
of
states
might
have,
because
obviously
we
are
not
lawmakers
or
we
cannot
change
those
things,
but
we
can
influence,
and
I
have
always
hoped
to
be
able
to
use
my
influence
in
terms
of
philanthropy,
and
creativity
in
the
arts,
and
to
be
able
to,
if
I
have
opinions
as
a
citizen,
be
able
to
speak
about
my
opinions,
and
be
able
to
give
people
perspective
that
they
might
not
have
seen
because
of
my
travels."
The
incident
at
Beautycon
made
several
people
call
for
her
removal
as
a
UN
ambassador.
Priyanka
responded
to
this
by
saying
that
ambassadors
are
a
means
to
an
end,
and
not
the
end
itself.
They
are
not
in
positions
to
change
much,
but
do
their
best
to
bring
attention
to
issues
that
need
change.
She
stated
that
the
job
of
an
ambassador
is
to
provide
voice
to
the
voiceless,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they
shouldn't
have
opinions
of
their
own.
However,
she
stressed
on
the
need
to
stand
for
peace,
integrity
and
humanity.
