Earlier, Priyanka Chopra wore a top with the words
"immigrant", "refugee" and "outsider" crossed out
and the word "traveller" highlighted in a photo that was used on the
front cover of Conde Nast Traveller's October issue.
As soon as the image was uploaded, people were fast enough
to react and criticise Priyanka for being insensitive to the condition of
refugees and immigrants in the country. In an interview with Barkha Dutt
from New York, Priyanka was questioned about it and she told, “I was very
affected and I felt really, really horrible and that was never the intention.”
"They (Conde Nast) specially got this (t-shirt) made
and implored me to wear it. They said they were addressing xenophobia which is
a big issue that is happening," Priyanka further added.
Speaking about the idea of the magazine, "So their idea
was that. And I bought into it, I guess. And I am really, really apologetic
about the fact that sentiments were hurt ... The point the magazine wanted to
make was actually something good."
