Mumbai:
Actress Priyanka Chopra's latest magazine cover, in which she sports a t-shirt with the words refugee, immigrant, outsider and traveller, has not gone down well with some, who took to social media to slam it as "insensitive."
The 34-year-old Quantico actress' plain white t-shirt features refugee, immigrant, outsider, traveller arranged one below another but the first three words are struck off with a red line, suggesting that Priyanka is a traveller.
Priyanka shared the cover of Conde Nast Traveller on Twitter, writing, "My new cover. Thank you @CNTIndia."
But some Twitter users slammed the cover:
However, there were others who thought the cover was not offensive or insensitive.
Priyanka Chopra recently entered Forbes' list of the highest paid television actress. She is currently basking in the success of the second season of Quantico. Priyanka is also awaiting the release of her first Hollywood film Baywatch in which she plays an antagonist opposite Dwayne Johnson.

@CNTIndia @priyankachopra offensive t-shirt. With 65 million ppl displaced, highest no. since WWII, to pretend as if it's a choice. #nonPC

Unlike travelling, being a refugee is not a choice. It's a matter of survival. She sure is bold & fearless for wearing that distasteful tee https://t.co/gYnlXW412e
