Priyanka Chopra Jonas Expresses Concern Over Delhi Air Quality
The air quality in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) has reached hazardous levels, prompting residents and celebrities to voice their concerns on social media. Among them is Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who is currently in New Delhi filming for her upcoming project, The White Tiger.
Taking to Instagram, the actress shared a photograph of herself wearing a protective mask. In her caption, she noted the difficulty of shooting in the current conditions and expressed concern for those living in the city, particularly the homeless who lack access to air purifiers and masks.
Social Media Users Label Actress a ‘Hypocrite’
Despite her message of concern, the post triggered a wave of criticism from social media users who accused the actress of hypocrisy. Critics pointed to several past instances to support their claims:
- Asthma and Firecrackers: Priyanka previously released a video requesting a firecracker-free Diwali, citing her condition as an asthma patient. However, netizens noted that firecrackers were used during her own wedding celebrations.
- Smoking Controversy: Commenters brought up a past photograph showing the actress smoking a cigarette while on vacation with her husband, Nick Jonas, and her mother, questioning how this aligned with her health concerns.
- Relocation Suggestions: Some users suggested that if the actress found the air quality in Delhi too difficult, she should return to the United States.
Previous Public Scrutiny
This is not the first time the actress has faced significant online trolling. Following her marriage to Nick Jonas, she was criticized by some for the 10-year age gap between the couple. Professionally, her last Hindi film release was The Sky Is Pink, which received critical praise but struggled at the box office. Since her international breakthrough in the American TV series Quantico, she has focused on Hollywood projects and frequently accompanies her husband on music tours.
