Priyanka
Chopra
recently
came
out
in
support
of
her
The
White
Tiger
director
Ramin
Bahrani
after
the
latter
faced
some
racist
remarks.
For
the
unversed,
when
Ramin
was
giving
a
virtual
interview
to
producer
Ava
Duvernay
in
Atlanta,
the
filmmaker
was
told
to
'go
back
to
his
country'
by
a
man
on
the
street.
Now,
Priyanka
has
condemned
the
act
and
has
spoken
openly
in
support
of
Ramin.
The
Sky
Is
Pink
actor
questioned
if
America
is
the
melting
pot
of
all
people
from
all
backgrounds.
According
to
a
report
in
Indian
Express,
the
actor
revealed
to
a
publication,
"Asking
me
about
my
thoughts
on
what
happened
to
Ramin
is
a
sign
of
where
we
stand
today,
and
the
work
we
have
to
continue
to
do.
So
my
question
in
response
is
-
who
belongs
here,
and
who
doesn't?
Isn't
America
a
melting
pot
of
all
people
from
all
backgrounds?
This
country
was
built
on
the
back
of
immigrants
in
search
of
the
American
dream,
a
life
of
freedom,
opportunity,
and
a
safe
place
not
only
for
themselves
but
for
their
families."
Earlier,
Ramin
had
also
opened
up
about
the
incident.
Speaking
to
People
Magazine
about
the
same,
he
said,
"I
was
in
Atlanta
on
location
in
a
residential
neighbourhood
directing
a
TV
pilot
for
Apple.
We
had
worked
late
that
day,
so
I
had
to
do
my
Zoom
interview
with
Ava
on
my
phone
while
we
were
still
in
the
street.
During
the
interview,
I
noticed
a
car
parked
behind
me.
When
the
driver
saw
me
and
my
colleague
who
is
South
Asian,
he
said,
'You
all
think
you
run
the
world.
You
all
don't
run
s---.'
His
friend
told
him
to
calm
down
and
leave
it
alone.
As
the
driver
pulled
away,
he
shouted,
'Go
back
to
your
own
country'."
Ava,
who
was
on
the
Zoom
call
with
Ramin,
also
told
the
magazine
that
she
asked
the
director
to
talk
about
the
issue
rather
than
letting
it
go.
She
said
that
Ramin
was
calm
even
after
facing
the
brutal
remark
which
saddened
her,
and
made
her
realize
that
probably
the
director
was
used
to
such
kind
of
treatment.
The
producer
said
that
Ramin
deserved
a
moment
to
be
heard
after
facing
the
same.
