Priyanka Chopra on being body shamed: I was hurt, cried to my husband Nick Jonas

Priyanka Chopra Jonas recently spoke about her experience of being body shamed. In a conversation with Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke at the South by Southwest Film Festival, Priyanka shared that at various instances she had been “told many things that are difficult to hear.”

The actor also shared that after the latest comment on her body she was so hurt that she cried to singer-husband Nick Jonas and her team.

“I’ve been told many things that are difficult to hear. I arrived feeling crappy because somebody told me yesterday that I wasn’t ‘sample sized.’ I was hurt and discussed it with my family and I cried to my husband and my team and I felt really bad about the fact I’m not sample-sized and that that’s a problem, apparently. Most of us are not. ‘Sample-sized’ is a size 2. Who’s a size 2? I don’t see a lot of hands," Priyanka said as she looked at the audience.

Recently, Priyanka co-hosted the second annual South Asian Excellence at the Oscars event in Los Angeles. The pre-Oscars bash was attended by Mindy Kaling, Nick Jonas, Preity Zinta, Jr NTR, Jacqueline Fernandez and many others.

The actor will soon be seen alongside Richard Madden in her upcoming Russo Brothers web series, Citadel.
