Much like the way you flaunt your Indian nationality whenever you get the opportunity before claiming to be a South Asian,” tweeted Adnan as he showed his displeasure at the actress’s choice of words.
Several netizens also took to social media to respond to the post, but Priyanka has yet to comment on Adnan's post, according to reports
