Adnan Siddiqui sets score straight with Priyanka Chopra for calling Sharmeen Obaid a South Asian

Adnan Siddiqui sets the score straight with Priyanka Chopra for calling Sharmeen Obaid a South Asian instead of Pakistani.

It all started after Indian film actress Priyanka Chopra in a social media post congratulated Pakistan’s Oscar-winning filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy after it was revealed that she will be directing a Star Wars film.

Priyanka wrote on her Instagram story: “First person of colour and the first woman to direct a Star Wars film…and she’s South Asian!! What a historic moment @sharmeenobaidchinoy. So so proud of you my friend! May the force be with you!”

However, Pakistan’s top actor Adnan Siddiqui was least impressed with PeeCee for calling Sharmeen a South Asian.

Taking to Twitter, along with a screenshot of Priyanka Chopra’s post, the Meray Paas Tum Ho actor told her that this was exactly like she would identify herself as an Indian.

“With due respect, Priyanka Chopra, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a Pakistani first just to brush up your knowledge. Much like the way you flaunt your Indian nationality whenever you get the opportunity before claiming to be a South Asian,” Adnan Siddiqui wrote.

And Pakistani tweeps acknowledged Adnan Siddiqui’s comments!
