(UDHAYAM, INDIA) – Actress Priyanka Chopra’s decision to wear a dress that showed her legs for a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been criticised by some social media users in India.
Some Facebook users told her off for “Disrespecting the Prime Minister”.
The unapologetic actress responded by posting a picture of both her mother and her wearing short dresses, captioned “Legs for the day”.
Other Indian actresses have also faced anger over their choice of attire.
Deepika Padukone once publicly called out a leading Indian newspaper in 2014 for tweeting a picture of her cleavage.
“YES! I am a Woman. I have breasts AND a cleavage! You got a problem!!??” Padukone tweeted to the paper. Many other actresses also came out in support of her.
The controversy began after Chopra, who stars in the new Baywatch film and in the United States (US) television series Quantico, posted a picture with Prime Minister Modi, thanking him “For taking the time from his packed schedule” to meet her in Berlin.
