During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Priyanka Chopra says she was “aware of Islam” because her father “sang in a mosque”. The actress was trolled to no end for her statement on Twitter.
Priyanka Chopra, during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, spoke about her spiritual foundation, growing up in India. The White Tiger actress spoke about “the swirling number of religions that live within the country [India]” and said, “I grew up in a convent school. I was aware of Christianity. My dad used to sing in a mosque, I was aware of Islam. I grew up in a Hindu family, I was aware of that. Spirituality is such a large part of India that you really cannot ignore it.”
However, many on Twitter took offence to how Priyanka spoke about being “aware of Islam” as it appeared as if she learnt about an entire religion simply because her father sang in a mosque. Many asked which mosque, while several others mocked Priyanka’s statement and said they, unfortunately, remained unaware of Islam since their father never sang at a mosque.
Many Twitter users also pointed out that singing at mosques wasn’t allowed and Priyanka was further mocked for her unawareness
