'Actors Are Soft Targets. Why Can't We Have Opinions?': Priyanka Chopra

A day after Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said that the controversy arising out of his comments on the intolerance debate, made in an interview to NDTV, had at least partially hit collections of his new film Dilwale, his colleague Priyanka Chopra said that actors were soft targets who were attacked right before the release of their films. Speaking on NDTV's Town Hall, Ms Chopra, whose Bajirao Mastani also released to success and critical acclaim last week, said that she felt she had to speak up in support of all artistes and actors in general. She said that films are sometimes held to ransom and actors are made to pay the price simply for having an opinion.
