Priyanka REACTS on Deepika being addressed by her name in the West

All are aware of Priyanka Chopra's popularity in the west! The actress has managed to make her own identity abroad after she was roped in as a lead character for popular US TV series 'Quantico'.

Another name from India was Deepika Padukone who marked her debut in Hollywood with Vin Diesel's 'xXx: Return of the Xander Cage'. However, Priyanka's name echoed all over the US media and this was evident when they addressed Deepika with PC's name at the Oscar's vanity fair!

During the promotions of Priyanka's Hollywood debut film, Baywatch in India, she was asked to comment on the same incident. The actress was quoted saying, "I did see that and you know that's just ignorance and it's not right. I guess I'm the most popular brown face that everyone has known. Every brown girl does not look the same. Don't mistake it. Let's try and tell us apart. That was not right and it's not fair she's a massive star from India." (sic)

But every coin has two sides, similarly, she even explained the other side of the coin. She said, "But it's also, like I understand I guess. When I went to America for the first time, at least Deepika's had a film (xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage). When I went to America for the first time I would walk into the room and introduce myself. I don't expect people to know me either, because it's a different country. Just because I'm a popular star in India doesn't mean the whole world has to knows me. Just because I'm a Bollywood actor doesn't mean people who do not watch Hindi movies have to know me. I'm not entitled like that. I guess that is another aspect of this." (sic)

When the media present at the promotional event said that 'now she doesn't need to tell anyone who she is in the west', to this she said, "I mean that was like before Quantico." (sic)
