Actress
Priyanka
Chopra,
who's
riding
high
on
the
success
of
her
memoir
Unfinished,
spoke
to
BBC
and
admitted
that
she
often
gets
disheartened
when
people
from
the
South
Asia
pick
on
her
for
no
reason.
"I
do
notice
a
sense
of
protectiveness
from
a
lot
of
people
but
also
a
sense
of
cynicism
from
a
lot
of
people
and
a
sense
of
negativity
from
a
lot
of
people
that
have
known
me
for
a
really
long
time.
Picking
on
me
for
no
reason..," said
the
Aitraaz
actress.
She
further
said,
"I
was
talking
about
this
to
Mindy
(Kaling)
a
couple
of
months
ago
and
we
were
talking
about
why
is
it
that
you
get
so
much
negativity
from
your
own
community.
Very
few
brown
people
are
in
the
entertainment
business
in
Hollywood,
right?
You
can
count
us
on
your
fingers.
What
our
attempt
is...
We
are
literally,
with
our
own
two
hands,
trying
to
create
more
opportunity
for
people
like
us.
So,
why
is
there
so
much
negativity
for
us?"
Priyanka
also
added
that
she's
grateful
for
all
the
love
that
she
has
received
from
her
fans,
but
she
feels
discouraged
by
the
negative
side.
It's
not
the
first
time
when
Priyanka
has
opened
up
about
receiving
criticism
for
no
reason.
Earlier,
in
a
different
interview,
PeeCee
had
said
that
she
reads
each
and
every
thing
about
herself
on
the
internet,
but
avoids
reacting
to
it.
