Priyanka Chopra is adored by millions and known for speaking for rights of women and doing lot of philanthropic work, supporting various causes. However, her recent cover photo with Condé Nast Traveller has twitter accusing her of being insensitive.

The actress recently posed for the cover of the magazine in a T-shirt that featured scratched out words ‘Refugee,’ ‘Immigrant,’ and ‘Outsider’, leaving behind ‘Traveller’. This has not gone well with twitter users on grounds of insensitive use of the word ‘Refugee’.

Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware that being a refugee is a matter of choice…What were you thinking?! @CNTIndia @priyankachopra pic.twitter.com/WuyZv2iwp5

Appalling, dehumanising, privilege-strutting, racist message on Priyanka Chopra’s tee on this mag cover. @LakshmiGandhi have you seen this? pic.twitter.com/KbizRQ0LL1 — Sharanya Manivannan (@ranyamanivannan) October 8, 2016

This is @PriyankaChopra, currently India’s biggest export, privilege-flashing, refugee-shaming, and being amazingly tone-deaf to suffering. pic.twitter.com/TE13H0Rb1S
