The comparisons between Priyanka Chopra and Deepika
Padukone increased when both toured West and kickstarted their Hollywood
careers. Lately they attended the Met Gala and it was the battle of
who wore their costume better. While Deepika was seen in a Tommy Hilfiger slip
dress while Priyanka wore the lengthiest trench coat styled-gown by Ralph
Lauren.
On two occasions, the American paparazzi mistook Deepika for
Priyanka at the LA airport.
When Deepika was questioned about this at an event, Deepika told,
"Absolutely. It's not just me being offended. Everyone should be offended.
It is not just ignorance, it is racist. Two people of the same colour aren't
the same. You should educate them and not encourage them."
When Priyanka was questioned about the same thing, she
mirrored Deepika's remarks and told, "That was unfair and a serious case
of ignorance. It's not right, every brown girl does not look the same. Indians
constitute one-fifth of the world's population and the representation of our
prolific film industry in world cinema is our responsibility. We have to put
ourselves out there."
She does, but, add that the American media has been very
encouraging and accepting of them. She said, "Just because I am a big star
in India, doesn't mean I should be treated like one in every country. I haven't
seen the American media as accepting of many Indian actors as they are with me.
They are wonderful with me!"
Meanwhile, Priyanka will next be seen in Baywatch which
is slated to release on June 2, 2017, in India.
