Armeena slams Priyanka Chopra for 'supporting war' despite being UNICEF ambassador

With rising Indo-Pak tensions, celebrities from both sides of the border came out in support of their respective countries.

While many Indian celebrities lauded the unprovoked violation of the Line of Control (LoC), Pakistani celebs hoped peace will prevail.

However, when UNICEF’s Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra showed support for the air space violation and advocated war, all hell broke loose.

Jai Hind #IndianArmedForces 🇮🇳 🙏🏽

"Are or were you really UNICEF goodwill ambassador? I really don’t know how an artist can praise military actions and especially while being an ambassador of UN. I don’t think this world could ever see peace when peacemakers love wars," penned another user.

"Priyanka Chopra, what a magnificent disappointment. Hope more blueticked accounts remind her what being a Goodwill Ambassador actually means. Hypocrite," wrote one user.
