Many nationalists began to troll Priyanka Chopra’s post by commenting mean things and calling her names. Terms like ‘disrespectful’ ‘illegal’ and ‘antinational’ were thrown around.
Now the picture in itself looks harmless. It shows the ‘Baywatch’ star Priyanka Chopra holding tricolor dupatta/scarf wound around her neck. It supposedly indicates the Indian flag. The actress is smiling in the low light boomerang as she captioned it, “Independence Day #Vibes?? #MyHeartBelongsToIndia #happyindependencedayindia #jaihind”
Trolls called her out for not dressing in a saree but rather in a western outfit of jeans and top. The actress was shamed for using the scarf as an excuse for her patriotism. Priyanka Chopra is currently abroad shooting and thus finds less time to come to the country other than for her pending movies.
I think it looks a bit tight around the neck. But that's just me.

In the legal sense, the ‘Quantico’ star isn’t in trouble as she hasn’t used an Indian flag but rather a piece of cloth with the same colors.
