Social media uproar over Priyanka Chopra's magazine cover
People all over the world are angry at the message on Priyanka Chopra's T-shirt on this magazine cover.
Priyanka Chopra is on the receiving end of social media's wrath once again for her latest magazine cover.
On the cover of Condé Nast Traveller, she wears a white T-shirt with the words ‘refugee’, ‘immigrant’, and ‘outsider’ on it.
The magazine's attempt for a 'Strong Message' hasn't gone down well, with Twitter followers saying the message is offensive and insensitive because ‘being a refugee is not a choice that one makes’, according to Indian Express.
“You want to use your celebrity to address real issues? Cool. Just be sure of message you convey,” said a user.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware that being a refugee is a matter of choice…What were you thinking?” wrote another.

@CNTIndia @priyankachopra offensive t-shirt. With 65 million ppl displaced, highest no. since WWII, to pretend as if it's a choice. #nonPC

@CNTIndia @priyankachopra Contrary to being bold and fearless, the text on the T-shirt makes her look dumb.

It's just a nonsensical T-shirt.
