Priyanka Chopra's Vada Pav Snub Has Fans Saying, ‘She Is ‘Pardesi Girl' Now'
Priyanka Chopra earned the Desi Girl title after her popular song and dance sequence in the 2008 film Dostana became a huge hit.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas, fondly known as our Desi Girl, is currently basking in the positive reviews for her latest Hollywood action thriller, Heads of State. Streaming on Prime Video, the film also stars Idris Elba and John Cena in leading roles. While the movie continues to win hearts globally, some of Priyanka's Indian fans seem a bit disappointed, and the reason might surprise you: it's her food choices after years of living abroad.
In a viral video from the Heads of State red carpet premiere, Priyanka takes part in a fun 'This or That' rapid-fire round, where she's asked to pick between two popular dishes.
When asked to choose between empanadas and samosas, Priyanka hesitated for a moment before saying, 'Depends on the mood." Next up was a choice between enchiladas and chicken tikka masala—a tough one, as she ended up picking 'both." But the real surprise came when she was asked to choose between vada pav and hot dogs. Without missing a beat, she picked the latter, saying, 'I love a vada pav, but hot dog is my weakness."
For obvious reasons, her answer didn't go well with the 'Desi' fans, prompting many to share their reactions to the clip. An Instagram user commented, 'She's not our 'Desi girl' anymore. She's 'pardesi girl' now."
Another one wrote, 'Who chooses Hot dog over Vada pav, absolute blasphemy." Another comment read, 'Even if I were not an Indian, I would pick samosa. I mean, have you met a samosa?!"

However, some also came out in her support. A user shared, 'I hope people getting offended by her food choices are the ones who only eat desi food and never choose eating fries over homemade dal chawal." Another one shared, 'Sasural walon ko naraz nahi kar sakti na (Can't make her in-laws sad)."
Coming back to her work front, Priyanka will be next seen in director SS Rajamouli's next project opposite South star Mahesh Babu. The film has been tentatively titled SSMB29.
Besides this, she also has the Hollywood action drama, The Bluff, in her kitty.
