Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's photo on the cover of Conde Nast Traveller magazine's latest issue has stoked controversy on social media for the 'insensitive' message on her T-shirt.

Bold and fearless, @priyankachopra makes a statement on our 6th anniversary issue cover. #PCinCNT #WhyWeTravel pic.twitter.com/phtSE1ihVw

Twitter users have lashed out at Priyanka Chopra for the message on her top she is seen wearing in the cover photo. The words 'Refugee', 'Immigrant' and 'Outsider' are crossed out while the word 'Traveller' isn't.

While there could be several interpretations of the message on her T-shirt, some Twitterati took offence.

Here are some Twitter reactions:

Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that being a refugee is a matter of choice...What were you thinking?! @CNTIndia @priyankachopra pic.twitter.com/WuyZv2iwp5

Appalling, dehumanising, privilege-strutting, racist message on Priyanka Chopra's tee on this mag cover. @LakshmiGandhi have you seen this? pic.twitter.com/KbizRQ0LL1

Since when did #PriyankaChopra Chopra, one of the world's highest paid TV actors, relate to a #refugee? @UNICEF pic.twitter.com/45e3vyQXek

@cntindia being a refugee is NOT a choice, it's a matter of survival. i was already disappointed for her comments abt feminism, now this -.-

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

There were some Twitter users who came to Priyanka Chopra's defence saying the message was misunderstood.

@Anumero_1 @CNTIndia @priyankachopra that's not what the are trying to say, it's says refugees, immigrants outsiders are banned what's next
