A video of Priyanka Chopra giving her followers a sneak peek into the Global Citizen Live at Paris has become the talk of town for all the wrong reasons.
In the video, shared by FilmFare, Priyanka swirls her camera across her backdrop featuring the Eiffel Tower, and says, “Global citizen live baby, in Paris.” The clip is being re-shared by Pakistanis who feel Priyanka is behaving like a "Pindi girl upon her visit to Bahria Town Lahore," which has now replicated its own Eiffel Tower for visitors to take pictures against.
Many are also calling out Priyanka for “showing off” while are others are simply put off by the “cringe” on display.
She sounds lyk the mean rich aunt showing off every time y’all meetđđ€đŒ

A troll used the oppurtunity to take a dig at her reality TV series, The Activist, for what it was initially planned to be, and tweeted, “PC deciding which activist to take with her to the Eiffel Tower.”

While another simply dubbed Priyanka the “Meera of Bollywood,” which, despite being funny, we respectfully disagree with.

But “Global Cringe Life baby,” rang in the echo chamber as more and more netizen reinstated how Priyanka “pakki bahria town lahore ki hai (is definitely from Bahria Town Lahore).”
