Following the fury, a statement was released on the website of the publication. It read: “When we had actor Priyanka Chopra wear a T-shirt we created on the cover of the 6th-anniversary issue, we had a point to make.It’s about how our labelling of people as immigrants, refugees and outsiders is creating a culture of xenophobia. We are allowing thousands of innocent people who are forced to cross borders due to unimaginable terror and atrocities to be treated without humanity and empathy.”

It further added that, “Priyanka Chopra—a star at home and abroad, who has experienced firsthand the opportunities that travel offers—is the perfect ambassador. It’s not about her being a refugee or immigrant or outsider; it’s about her, like us, recognizing the power of travel.”

Priyanka Chopra has been silent on this issue. After establishing a name for herself in her home country, Chopra is now establishing herself slowly but surely as an international star.
