Mia Khalifa questions Priyanka Chopra's stand on the farmers protest in India

Former adult star called out the actor for keeping mum, only to be clapped back at for a lack of research

A few days ago, Rihanna's tweet about the ongoing unrest in India about the farmer's protest made waves. Many lauded the Diamonds singer to raise her voice against the brutality, while others shunned her. Famous personalities such as Susan Sarandon, Greta Thunberg, Meena Harris and Mia Khalifa too shared a similar stance and were met with trolling and abuse.

Soon after, many in India took to the streets and protested against Rihanna, Meena and Mia as they chanted slogans and burned their posters. However, the former adult star has taken it all in good fun. Taking to her social media, Mia has been responding to rumours of being funded for voicing her opinion.

Recently, she called out Bollywood icon Priyanka Chopra for staying mum on the matter. Mia, in her tweet, wrote, "Is Mrs. Jonas going to chime in at any point? I’m just curious. This is very much giving me Shakira during the Beirut devastation vibes. Silence."

Is Mrs. Jonas going to chime in at any point? I’m just curious. This is very much giving me shakira during the Beirut devastation vibes. Silence.

Post Mia's tweet, many too, are questioning the former Miss World.

People of our country only talk about atrocities in other countries. We don’t wash our linen in public. You know we are pretty hypocritical and absolute cowards that way. 💩

However, there were a few who retweeted Priyanka's old tweet on the protest and claimed that she is not silent and has spoken about the same. Several celebs who have been vocal about the issue include Diljit Dosanjh and Kangana Ranaut.

Before trying to get your "activism" points maybe do some research. https://t.co/nn24VmWahQ

Priyanka Chopra has already shown support for farmers back in december, and is one of the few mainstream actors to speak up . Odd that you would single out someone who was one of the first to raise attention to this https://t.co/MeVtXE8kGE

Earlier, post her tweet on the protest, she received backlash from a certain section of the society, who trolled her by showing placards that have "Mia Khalifa regains consciousness" written on them. The same seemed to be a dig at her past. Mia also replied to the trolls and said, "Confirming I have in fact regained consciousness and would like to thank you for your concern, albeit unnecessary. Still standing with the farmers, though."
