Global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who’s had an illustrious career in the film industry has time and again spoken about her past experiences where she was objectified by those in power. Now, the former Miss World is working hard to change the way women are treated in showbiz by using her influence. She recently attended the Forbes Power Women’s Summit where she recalled a horrifying experience when a director insisted on seeing her panties for a film. 

When a director wanted to see Priyanka’s panties

Priyanka recalled, “I was speaking to the director and I said, would you speak to my stylist and just explain to him what you want in terms of clothes and stuff? I’m standing right next to him. He picks up the phone and goes, ‘Listen, people are going to come into the movies to watch her when she shows her panties. So it needs to be really short so that I can see her panties. You know those people sitting up front? They should be able to see her panties.’ And he said it like four times. And it’s not even pretty in Hindi. It’s worse."
