Karachi: Pakistan showbiz senior actor Adnan Siddiqui took Indian actress Priyanka Chopra to task for calling Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy an Asian woman.
Recently, Indian actress Priyanka Chopra congratulated Pakistani director Sherman Obaid Chinoy for being chosen as the director of Hollywood’s Star Wars film, saying that Sherman is the first South Asian woman to be chosen as a director for a Star Wars film.
On this statement of Priyanka Chopra, Adnan Siddiqui has corrected her by mentioning the actress in her tweet. Adnan Siddiqui reminded Priyanka that Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is first a Pakistani and then an Asian woman.
In his tweet, he wrote that ‘Respectly to add to Priyanka’s knowledge, Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is a Pakistani before being a South Asian just like you are every chance you get before claiming to be a South Asian. Expresses Indian nationality.’
Remember that last week Oscar-winning Pakistani filmmaker Sherman Obaid Chinoy said that he has been selected to direct the film of the famous Hollywood series ‘Star Wars’.
