Priyanka Chopra turns hero without cape after Tanmay Bhat tweets about her 'accent'

Member of comedy collective, All India Bakchod, Tanmay Bhatt maybe one of the most controversial of them all. 

People don't like him roasting Bollywood stars who willingly came to be insulted. They also don't like it when Tanmay Bhatt mocks Indian icons on Snapchat. So naturally they did not like it when Tanmay posted a tweet about Priyanka Chopra's accent since she moved to the other side of the pond.

When I say @priyankachopra's name in my head I now automatically pronounce it like "Priyaaaanka Chopruh"

Priyanka Chopra took the tweet sportingly and replied,

I'm supposed to have the accent @thetanmay what happened to u? Lol https://t.co/xwu6a5KWhi

Tanmay appreciated the jest and put up his own response,

@priyankachopra hahahaha, slay! ;)

But while all of this was happening, hardcore PC fans took offence and started directing all their troll power in Tanmay's direction.

@thetanmay @priyankachopra Was that a joke? I mean do we need to laugh?

Tanmay, once again, had to explain his joke. 

PC fans, kyu mujhpe chadh rahe ho, it was meant to be a compliment what is wrong with some of you smh

Priyanka too tweeted in Tanmay's defence

Kind of disappointing for any comedian to have to explain their joke and deflate the punch themselves. But to soothe the trolls, what else can one do?
