Priyanka Chopra recently revealed that she left India because she was tired of the politics in the industry and because she was sidelined and not being cast. The actress’ statement was supported by Kangana Ranaut who held Karan Johar responsible for banning and harassing Priyanka Chopra and pushing her to leave India. However, the netizens were disappointed when they saw Priyanka hugging Karan Johar at the recent event.

Netizens slammed the actress for not taking a stand and some even called her a ‘hypocrite.’ One of the fans tweeted, “I thought she will teach him a lesson but no !! Pc what a letdown.” Another tweet read, “This is how Bollywood is...#PriyankaChopra is a full hypocrite. She said about the politics of #bollywood. now she is trying to be the best friend of #KaranJohar, trying to stay in his good books. So nobody can be so straightforward and original like #KanganaRanaut, Queen.” Another user wrote, “Not everyone has a spine like Kangana she literally went to his show and expose him.”

However, some people even came in support of the actress and called this just a formal hug. One of the fans wrote, “It is the courtesy of civilized people, nothing else!...... She is(Priyanka Chopra Jonas) Absolutely FINE.” Another tweeted, “That hug was a very formal cold one. Meant nothing.”
