The White Tiger actress has proven time and time again that she is not just a top-notch actor, but also a brainy beauty. She is unafraid to speak her mind on topics such as women’s empowerment, gender inequality, and more.
A journalist asked Priyanka Chopra Jonas a strange question during a press conference following the conclusion of the third season of Quantico. “Why is it that a feminist never stand up for a man who is physically abused?” she was asked. It is illegal for a guy to smack a lady. No one speaks up about a man’s mistreatment of a lady when he eve-teases her and she smacks him. “Where is your equality?”
“Physiologically, men and women are different,” PeeCee responded. “There isn’t any question about it. We talk about the intellectual opportunity when we talk about equality and opportunity. We’re not saying we want to be able to punch someone in the face like a 200-pound man. That is not what we are saying.”
Priyanka Chopra did not rest on her laurels. “We’re saying you gain the capacity to obtain the position, to be the CEO, and nobody wonders how you’re managing when you’re 50 and have three children,” she continued. “Please don’t interrogate me. That’s exactly what I’m saying. I am capable of being both a CEO and a mother. So he deserves it when a girl strikes a man who teases her.”
