Priyanka Chopra ‘Ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai’?

This is what journalist Peter Ford wrote in a tweet, “No disrespect to these two but I’m not sure their contribution to movies qualifies them to be announcing Oscar nominees.” He also shared a photo of the couple. Ford’s Twitter bio light-heartedly describes him as “the best & most widely heard entertainment reporter in Australia & NZ. Allegedly”.

Priyanka responded on social media, “Would love your thoughts on what qualifies someone. Here are my 60+ film credentials for your adept consideration.” The tweet came with a list of her credits as she scrolled through them on her phone.

Her fans applauded her response, calling her the ‘queen’ and asking her not to pay attention to such naysayers, The Indian Express reported.

In an earlier interview, Priyanka had spoken about how she reacts to vitriol online. “I am just like everyone else. In the morning when I’m driving to work or I’m having my coffee, I’m flipping through Twitter, Instagram, the news, and when my name pops up, I’m like, ‘Alright, what are people saying? How are we feeling?’ I just don’t react to it or let it affect my mental well-being,” she told a magazine.
