It has become common for celebrities to unintentionally make irresponsible statements which land them in hot waters. The latest victim of such a trend was Moammar Rana after the actor colour-shamed Priyanka Chopra.
It all started during Nadir Ali’s podcast, where the host asked the actor who cannot be recognised without makeup in real life, to which the actor named Priyanka Chopra.
The actor said “I didn’t know, we were sitting at an event. A woman came and sat on the side. We were talking amongst ourselves. After a while, she got up and left. I inquired about who she was.” Amid this, Nadir chimed in, “She was a maid or what?”
The actor continued, “Turns out, it was Priyanka Chopra who was seated. My whole crush on her…” The actor, with a facepalm expression, cut himself off and made gestures with his hand to imply that his crush for Priyanka had warned off at that moment.
People were not really happy with what he said was said on the show and many criticised him. Now Rana’s wife Mehnaz has come forward to defend the actor and said that Rana did not say anything offensive and it was the host who was just trying to make a controversy which he did.
