Priyanka Chopra’s fans defend her on ‘what acting career’ roast

On Netflix, Priyanka Chopra takes part in the Jonas Brothers Family Roast. She attacked her husband Nick Jonas with comments about their acting careers during her part, but some viewers were not amused.

She said, “Nick and I have a 10-year age gap. There are many 90s pop culture references he doesn’t understand and I have to explain it to him. He showed me how to use Tik Tok for example. You know, and I showed him what a successful acting career looks like.” The joke left the audience in splits but apparently not everyone found it funny.

After the show’s premiere, Netflix’s comedy account, ‘Netflix is a joke,’ shared photos from this part on Instagram. Many people questioned Priyanka’s claim to be a “successful actor” in the comments section of the post.

“Bold of her to assume,” wrote one. “Of all of them, she had to be the one who said this,” commented another. “Successful acting career? What, the Baywatch remake? I guess,” read another comment.

Priyanka’s fans also jumped to her defence, letting the haters know how she has enjoyed a much a successful career in India. “I’m not Indian, a Bollywood fan, or even a Priyanka fan but it is incredibly infuriating how ignorant the people in the comments section are.

Being famous ‘just in India’ is a huge f***ing deal when that one country alone has 1 BILLION more inhabitants than the US. That country could swallow us. She is FAR more successful than the three Jonas brothers combined. Hard to admit because she’s not my cup of tea but credit where credit is due,” wrote an Instagram user.

“Lol y’all really think acting is only based on what movies come out in the US. Sis literally has way more fans and followers from her Bollywood career ALONE lmao,” wrote another. “India has almost 2 billion people. That’s a lot of fans to choose from. Leave it to us Americans to make everything about us. Facts be damned. Jesus…i want off this planet,” wrote another fan.
