Priyanka Chopra: We are soft targets as it’s easier to make a headline about celebs

Priyanka Chopra is currently gearing up or the release of her much-awaited Hollywood debut movie, ‘Baywatch’. Globetrotting in order to promote the movie in major parts of the world, PeeCee recently got candid in an interview and recalled one of the most special moments from her successful stint in the West so far.

"I loved witnessing Meryl Streep’s speech at the Golden Globes. I was standing on my table and I was screaming and hooting and Sofia (Vergara) who was sitting next to me says, 'This is not a football game.' I started laughing and that’s when I actually realised where I was. Meryl Streep made a very strong statement when she condemned US President Donald Trump for mocking a disabled reporter. Do you think it would be possible for a celebrity to talk about issues like this in India?"

Talking about the flip side of being in the spotlight, PeeCee further said, “Public figures, in general, are soft targets because it’s easier to make a headline about someone saying something. Then sometimes, it’s misconstrued and that gets blown out of proportion."

Do you agree with PeeCee on this one? Also starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron alongside PeeCee, ‘Baywatch’ is all set to hit the theatres on May 26.
