Priyanka shamed for showing too much skin during meeting with Modi

Actor perfectly shut down the trolls

Priyanka Chopra is back to making headlines!

The Quantico star is on cloud nine, celebrating the success of her first Hollywood movie Baywatch and is currently in Germany for its premiere.

Coincidently, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was also in the same city at the same time and of course, they had to meet. An excited Priyanka took to Twitter to speak about their meeting with her followers.

Thank you for taking the time to meet me this morning @narendramodi Sir. Such a lovely coincidence to be in #berlin at the same time. 🙏🏼🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/vLzUSH5WR1

Unfortunately, things didn't go as she had planned. The meeting might have gone well but some hardcore Modi supporters went overboard and began shaming the Bollywood star for her choice of wardrobe for the meeting.

Twitterati went on to try and teach the global icon how to dress when she meeting the PM.

Not appropriate dress at all while meeting PM.

Nonetheless, few were left baffled with the harsh reactions and called out the 'backward' opinions and misogyny in the society.

So #PriyankaChopra is being shamed for showing off her legs by some people,

Indeed "Pseudo-sanskaris" objecting to #Priyankachopra's dress are morons and beneath contempt. Get a life, fools.

It shows narrow mentality of people who slamming Priyanka for western attire when meeting PM... Wake up guys. #PriyankaChopra #PriyankametPM

The people shaming #PriyankaChopra for wearing a skirt infront of Modi are the reason India is still a regressive country.

Pinch me is this 21st century? If what u see first in a pic is someone's legs then your brains need to b exposed! #darkages #PriyankaChopra

Finally, someone who has got their priorities straight!

#Baghdad not even trending on Indian twitter, because everyone's still busy getting offended by a skirt. #PriyankaChopra #IndianMedia 👍🏽

— Govi (@govified) May 31, 2017

Aren't there better things to worry abt than the length of #PriyankaChopra's skirt during her meeting with PM?🤔

— Padmaja (@paddukonisetti) May 31, 2017

But the battle didn't end there. Priyanka, being the badass that she is, shut down the trolls by posting another picture of herself and her mother with their flawless legs right on display and captioned it, "Legs for days! It's in the genes."
