Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has become the target of trolls yet again! This time, for apparently 'disrespecting' the national flag.

On Independence Day, Priyanka Chopra had posted a Boomerang video of herself wearing a tricolour scarf. The actress, however, received a lot of negative comments on her Instagram post with trolls accusing her of disrespecting the Indian flag by wearing it.

She was also questioned as to why she wasn't wearing a sari or a salwar-kameez on Independence day.


Here are some comments 'shaming' Priyanka Chopra:

Seeing the hatred Priyanka Chopra received on her video, some came out in support of the 'Baywatch' star.

Priyanka Chopra's picture received a lot of hate on Instagram and sparked rumours of the actress going under the knife (again). From being called 'ugly' to 'what's wrong with her nose' remarks, Priyanka faced lot of flak for her alleged 'nose job'.

Earlier this year, Priyanka Chopra had opened up on body shaming and spoke about her 'alleged' nose job on chat show 'The View'. Priyanka Chopra also addressed rumours of her having undergone a nose job.

Priyanka Chopra has been grabbing headlines lately for her 'controversial' snaps. Priyanka, who was in Berlin earlier to promote her Hollywood debut 'Baywatch', visited the Holocaust Memorial with her brother Siddharth Chopra and posted selfies on social media. Priyanka Chopra was condemned on Twitter for being insensitive. After noticing the uproar, Priyanka deleted the controversial Holocaust selfies.

This move is a stark contrast from her sassy response to being shamed for 'showing off' her legs while meeting PM Modi in Berlin.

Priyanka Chopra was also trolled for wearing a trench coat gown with a 20 feet long train at the Met Gala 2017 in New York. Her outfit was made fun of for looking like a 'chapati', as the terrains of Egypt and as a promoter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. But the actress took the criticism in her stride.

In June last year, the 'Baywatch' babe's photo on the cover of Maxim India's issue stirred a controversy with Twitterati accusing the magazine of 'photoshopping' the actress' armpit.

Following the outrage, Priyanka Chopra decided to shut down trolls by posting a 'no-filter' photo of her 'real' armpits. While sharing the photo, Priyanka wrote, "Here is another "pit-stopping" picture to add to the debate. #WillTheRealArmpitPleaseStandUp #nofilter #armpitdiaries"

Here's the photo of Priyanka Chopra on the Maxim cover:



Besides Priyanka Chopra, there are several celebrities who have classily shut down trolls. Take a look:
