Priyanka Chopra criticised for 'showing legs' to India PM

Top Bollywood actress, Priyanka Chopra’s decision to wear a dress that showed her legs for a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been criticised by some social media users in India.

Some Facebook users told her off for "disrespecting" the PM.

The unapologetic actress responded by posting a picture of both her mother and her wearing short dresses, captioned "legs for the day".

 

Legs for days.... #itsthegenes with @madhuchopra nights out in #Berlin #beingbaywatch

The controversy began after Chopra, who stars in the new Baywatch film and in the US television series Quantico, posted a picture with Modi, thanking him "for taking the time from his packed schedule" to meet her in Berlin.

It didn't take long though, before the "disrespectful" dress became the topic of conversation, with many commenting on how it "insulted" Mr Modi and his "pious followers."
