Fashion
designer
Wendell
Rodrick's
sudden
demise
has
left
many
celebrities
shocked
and
devastated.
The
renowned
fashion
designer
died
at
his
residence
in
Colvale
village
in
Goa
on
Wednesday.
A
Padma
Shri
awardee,
Rodricks
was
also
an
author,
environmentalist
and
gay
rights
activist.
A
few
days
ago,
Wendell
Rodrick
had
slammed
Priyanka
Chopra's
outfit
for
the
Grammys
2020
and
had
received
flak
for
his
statement.
He
had
later
issued
a
statement
clarifying
that
he
didn't
body-shame
Priyanka
but
her
choice
of
outfit.
He
had
written,
"I
just
said
the
dress
was
wrong
for
her
despite
it
being
couture.
It
was
more
dress
shaming
than
body
shaming.
Stop
this
sermon
from
high
and
read
the
post
before
you
speak.
There
is
an
age
to
wear
some
clothes.
Men
with
huge
bellies
should
not
wear
tight
T
shirts.
Same
with
women,
who
wear
minis
past
a
certain
age.
If
you
don't
have
it,
don't
flaunt
it."
His
statement
had
not
gone
well
with
Priyanka's
mom,
Madhu
Chopra
and
she
had
reacted
to
all
the
controversies
around
PeeCee's
outfit
and
had
said,
"I
am
glad
it
happened
because
I
feel
it
made
her
stronger.
She
lives
life
on
her
own
terms
as
long
as
she
is
not
harming
or
hurting
anybody.
It's
her
body
she
can
do
what
she
wants,
and
she
has
a
beautiful
one
too.
I
sent
her
a
saying
that
says
'It's
my
life'.
Whose
life
am
I
living,
yours
or
mine?
I
can
do
what
I
want,
right?
I
think
that
is
the
philosophy
that
everybody
should
follow."
Now,
Madhu
Chopra
has
responded
to
the
sudden
demise
of
Wendell
Rodrick
and
said,
"We
hold
no
grudges
against
Wendell.
Disagreements
happen
and
one
shouldn't
keep
it
forever.
Wendell
was
a
nice
guy.
Priyanka
worked
with
him
in
Fashion."
She
further
added,
"Plus,
if
you
recall,
Wendell
had
subsequently
issued
a
clarification.
We
have
lost
a
great,
talented
man.
I
couldn't
believe
yesterday
evening
that
Wendell
is
no
more.
He
had
just
brought
in
two
puppies
to
his
house
to
shelter
them.
He
was
an
ardent
dog-lover.
Life
is
so
unpredictable."
