Priyanka Chopra, who made headlines earlier on Thursday after a video of her making some food choices went viral on the internet. Desi netizens slammed the `desi` girl for choosing Western food items over Indian delicacies. And now, PeeCee has fired back in style at the trolls who have been criticising her for her food preferences. She reacted to the mixed response to the viral video, sarcastically saying she did not know one has to follow some ‘syllabus’ for being desi.
During an interaction at the red carpet premiere of her latest release, Heads of State, Priyanka was asked some questions as part of a fun rapid fire. She was asked to pick between two dishes, out of which was an Indian food item and the other was international cuisine. When asked to choose between empanadas and samosas, she hesitated for a while before playing it safe by saying, “Depends on the mood.”
She was then asked to pick between enchiladas and chicken tikka masala. She calls it a tough one before eventually saying, “both.” However, when asked to choose between vada pav and hot dogs, she immediately picks the second option without giving it a second thought. She said, “I love a vada pav, but hot dog is my weakness."
