Priyanka Chopra Takes Stand Against Tabloid Gossip: ‘I Am Somebody’s Daughter Too

In a past interview, Priyanka Chopra displayed confidence and grace while addressing a personal question. When confronted with a probing inquiry, she swiftly shut down the line of questioning, denouncing it as ‘cheap talk’.

In a notable interview on the show Aap Ki Adalat, Priyanka Chopra displayed her resilience and assertiveness when confronted with a personal question regarding her relationship with Shahid Kapoor. Rather than evading the question or succumbing to pressure, Chopra responded gracefully, reminding the interviewer and viewers alike that it’s inappropriate to circulate rumors as news. She reiterated her commitment to maintaining her privacy, particularly as a woman, emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries in media coverage.

When asked about the rumor regarding Shahid Kapoor allegedly opening the door during IT raids, Priyanka Chopra responded by attributing it to her maid. When pressed for further details, she expressed her disapproval, stating: “Mujhe lagta hai jis newspaper ne iske baare mai likha tha woh raid walon ke saath mere aaye the. Waise toh hum is baare mai has rahe hai par yeh bahut cheap baat hai. Jo bhi ladkiya baithi hongi woh samajh payengi ki main kaisa feel kar rahi hoon” which translates to “I think the concerned newspaper also tagged along with the raids. Even though we are now laughing, this is very cheap talk. The women sitting here will know what I am feeling.” Through this response, Chopra conveyed her disdain for such gossip and highlighted the importance of empathy and understanding among women.

Priyanka Chopra further expressed her displeasure, stating that she didn’t take the situation kindly. She emphasized that it’s entirely inappropriate for media outlets to publish such rumors as news merely for increased viewership. Chopra reiterated her identity as a woman, someone’s daughter, and someone’s sister, highlighting the need for respect and empathy. She clarified that Shahid Kapoor was indeed present at her home during the incident because he lived just 3 minutes away.

Feeling helpless and needing immediate assistance, she called Shahid, and the Income Tax department allowed him to stay. She emphasized that she had never denied or lied about this incident. Through her statements, Chopra underscored the importance of not only respecting her privacy but also recognizing her humanity and the need for support in difficult situations.

Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor shared the screen in the films “Kaminey” and “Teri Meri Kahaani.” Despite rumors swirling about their alleged romance, neither of the two actors officially confirmed their relationship. The speculation surrounding their personal lives remained a topic of interest among fans and in the media, but Chopra and Kapoor chose to keep their relationship status private.

Priyanka Chopra’s latest appearance was in “Love Again.” She’s set to star in “The Bluff,” produced by The Russo Brothers, and in Farhan Akhtar’s “Zee Le Zaraa” alongside Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif. Additionally, she has a project titled “Heads of State” in the pipeline.
