Priyanka Chopra denies viral fake statement spreading on social media, forcefully rejecting claims that a controversial message about women and virginity circulating under her name is genuine. The incident unfolded online when a quote attributed to Priyanka, telling people not to value virginity in a wife over good manners, became widespread, leading to confusion and misattribution by many users.
Although countless individuals were quick to interpret the message as Priyanka Chopra’s own viewpoint, closer scrutiny revealed the statement was entirely fabricated. The misattributed post began trending, fueled by the speed at which misinformation can spread on major social platforms.
Priyanka Chopra Directly Addresses the Rumor
Priyanka Chopra responded decisively by breaking her silence on the issue through her Instagram story. She posted an unequivocal denial, stating,
“This is not me, my quote or my voice. Just because it is online, does not make it true. Creating fake content is now an easy way to achieve virality. None of the links or sources attached to this claim, or many others online, are real or credible. Take a minute to cross-check such content and don’t believe everything you scroll past. Stay safe online.”
