Priyanka Chopra apologises for ‘refugee’ t-shirt cover after Twitter outrage Monday Oct 17,2016






Priyanka Chopra on Monday Oct 17,2016 apologised for a glossy travel magazine cover after it sparked outrage with social media users accusing her of insensitivity towards refugees and migrants.


The 34-year-old former Miss World is featured on the cover of the October edition of Condé Nast Traveller India wearing a white t-shirt with the words, “REFUGEE”, “IMMIGRANT” and “OUTSIDER” crossed out in red -- leaving only the word “TRAVELLER”.

Condé Nast Traveller tweeted the cover photo on October 7 with the tagline “Bold and fearless, @priyankachopra makes a statement on our 6th anniversary issue cover. #WhyWeTravel”

The message on her t-shirt sparked a flurry of criticism on the microblogging site twitter, with users accusing Chopra of belittling the plight of refugees forced to leave their homes.
