Trolls targetted Pooja Bhatt for supporting Priyanka Chopra in Quantico row and got a befitting reply from the actor-turned-filmmaker and his father Mahesh Bhatt.
Priyanka Chopra has been at the receiving end because of an episode from her American TV show Quantico, which portrayed Indians as terrorists. Ever since the episode was aired, the audience in India has been questioning the intent and aim of the makers of the show. Even after ABC network and PC apologised, protests refuse to die down.
Angry protesters burnt posters of the show outside the Parliament Street police station in Delhi on June 10. Pooja Bhatt took to Twitter to slam the haters and reminded everyone of PC's achievements in the west.
Pooja who doesn't shy away from expressing her opinions also took to Twitter and wrote, “When Priyanka Chopra makes a mark for herself Internationally we claim her achievements as our own & then threaten to ban her films & make her apologise for a work of fiction that has been created by someone else. Can we please attempt to be larger than that?”
Trolls picked on her as well and one of them reads, "Started doing drugs now?” Pooja gave it back to him like a boss and replied, “Yes it is a drug called ‘reality’. Goes well with ‘tolerance’ & can be enhanced with a pinch or truckload of salt depending on one’s outlook to life.”
Pooja's father, film director, producer and screenwriter Mahesh Bhatt also didn’t waste a minute to strike back at him. He tweeted, “Trying to make a person who is blinded by his belief see reality is like trying to free a paranoid schizophrenic of his delusions.”
Earlier Priyanka Chopre had apologised on Twitter for hurting the sentiments of the people back home. Priyanka tweeted, "I’m extremely saddened and sorry that some sentiments have been hurt by a recent episode of Quantico. That was not and would never be my intention. I sincerely apologise. I'm a proud Indian and that will never change (sic)."
