Pooja Bhatt Lashes Out At A Troll Who Called Her A ‘Druggie’ For Supporting Priyanka In Quantico Row

Priyanka Chopra has been receiving flak from Indian audience for the latest episode of her American TV show Quantico. Later, taking it to social media, the actress apologised for the hurt sentiments and tweeted, “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)."

Even after the apology, her angry protesters burnt posters of the show outside the Parliament Street police station in Delhi on Sunday. Watching the reaction, Pooja Bhatt, who never shies away from voicing her opinion tweeted, “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?”

Goes without saying, she had haters picking on her for the stand she took and one of them wrote, “Starting doing drugs now?” She did not take it lying down 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. 😊”

Mahesh Bhatt also didn’t waste a minute to slam the troll in his own way. He said, “Trying to make a person who is blinded by his belief see reality is like trying to free a paranoid schizophrenic of his delusions.”
