Global icon Priyanka Chopra has surely faced many trials to reach where she has today and a lot of these obstacles have come from people who are from the South Asian community. The actress has said that while many people are protective of her, there are many who give off a “sense of negativity”.
“I do notice a sense of protectiveness from a lot of people but also a sense of cynicism from a lot of people and a sense of negativity from a lot of people that have known me for a really long time. Picking on me for no reason,” she told a leading media broadcaster.
“I was talking about this to Mindy (Kaling) a couple of months ago and we were talking about why is it that you get so much negativity from your own community. Very few brown people are in the entertainment business in Hollywood, right? You can count us on your fingers. What our attempt is… We are literally, with our own two hands, trying to create more opportunity for people like us. So, why is there so much negativity for us?” she added.
