PeeCee Draws Flak For Wrongly Calling Sikkim ‘Insurgency-Hit’

During the promotion of her film ‘Pahuna’, Priyanka called Sikkim a small Indian state “troubled by insurgency”.

Just when Priyanka Chopra was soaring high in her career, her wax wings melted from flying too close to ignorance.

The Sikkimese film, produced by her, named Pahuna recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and received a standing ovation. But Priyanka dived bang into the middle of controversy while describing the film in an interview. She said Sikkim, a small state in India, is “troubled by insurgency”.

Perhaps Priyanka meant Manipur, a different Northeastern state which has been dealing with insurgency since the 1980s.
