Pak actor Adnan Siddiqui takes swipe on Priyanka Chopra for calling Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy ‘South Asian’: ‘
Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui slammed global star Priyanka Chopra for calling Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy as ‘South Asian’ in a post. For those unversed, Priyanka had shared a post to praise Sharmeen for Star Wars.
However, Adnan expressed displeasure and criticised Priyanka’s choice of words. He said that ‘Sharmeen is a Pakistani first’.
Pak actor taking to his twitter handle tweeted that “with due respect, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a Pakistani first just to brush up your knowledge.
Much like the way you flaunt your Indian nationality whenever you get the opportunity before claiming to be a South Asian.”
Taking to her Instagram story, Priyanka recently congratulated Sharmeen for directing a Star Wars film. Filmmaker Shermeen is a Pakistani Canadian.
In her version, PeeCee wrote “First person of colour and first woman to direct a Star Wars film – and she’s South Asian! What a historic moment, Sharmeen. So so proud of you, my friend. May the force be with you.”
Well, this is not the first time that Adnan has criticised an Indian celebrity. A few months back, he slammed the makers of Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna’s Mission Majnu for ‘misrepresentation of facts’.
On the work front Adnan was seen in the Bollywood film Mom, which starred Sridevi in the lead. It released in 2017.
