Recently, Priyanka Chopra congratulated Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, a Pakistani-Canadian filmmaker, for becoming the first woman to direct a Star Wars film. However, the actress was criticized by Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui for calling her ‘south-Asian’.
On Friday, Adnan Siddiqui who is known for his role as Anand Sabarwal in Sridevi’s Mom took to his Twitter and criticized Priyanka Chopra for calling Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy a ‘south-Asian’ and wrote, “With due respect, @priyankachopra. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a Pakistani first just to brush up on your knowledge. Much like the way you flaunt your Indian nationality whenever you get the opportunity before claiming to be a South Asian.”
