    REVEALED! The real reason behind Priyanka Chopra wearing the controversial top for mag cover.

    Tuesday, 11 October 2016 17:37

    Priyanka Chopra has not yet given any explanation as such, however the spokesperson for the mag comes in the front to defend the top that she had worn on the cover.

    They say more higher you climb up the success ladder of stardom, the more careful you have to be with your actions, words and what you wear. Priyanka Chopra, who is making her mark in the West with her stint in TV series Quantico and her appearances at Academy Awards and Emmy’s found herself in the middle of a Twitter storm when she revealed her new cover photo shoot for the travel mag, Conde Nast Traveller. Priyanka wore a top that said “Refugee, Immigrant, Outsider, Traveller”. Priyanka Chopra’s top simply puts it out there that she is a traveller and loves to travel but a lot of people are calling it insensitive. The message on the T-Shirt felt rude to many, as they insisted that it was demeaning to immigrants and refugees around the world. People have been demanding on Twitter for an explanation to why Priyanka would wear that top.

    Priyanka Chopra has not yet given any explanation as such, however the spokesperson for the mag comes in the front to defend the top that she had worn on the cover. They said, “At Conde Nast Traveller, we believe that the opening up of borders and the breaking down of walls can help us discover the world, and open up our minds and hearts. So, when we had actress Priyanka Chopra wear a T-shirt we created on the cover of our 6th anniversary issue, we had a point to make. And it’s not about privilege. Or fashion. It’s about how our labelling of people as immigrants, refugees and outsiders is creating a culture of xenophobia. We are allowing thousands of innocent people who are forced to cross borders due to unimaginable terror and atrocities to be treated without humanity and empathy. It’s about how we are allowing some powerful leaders to build barriers that make it more difficult for bright, motivated and hardworking people to see more of the world, learn from it and make it better for us all.
