Priyanka Chopra teaches us how to take a joke, comes to Tanmay Bhat's rescue!
Mumbai: Ever since we saw Priyanka Chopra in ‘Quantico’s trailer, we have come across a lot of jokes on the actress’ accent. However, the internet memes and jokes didn’t stop the actress from slaying it and conquering the American television.
The actress has proven time and again that she is too busy living the dream life to actually care about silly comments or get offended by jokes. But seems like, Priyanka’s fans aren’t that spontaneous about the trolls aimed at their favourite star.
On Thursday, AIB comedian Tanmay Bhat made a joke on Priyanka’s accent which didn’t go down well with her fans, who slammed the comedian on Twitter.

This isn't the first time that Tanmay has targeted a celebrity. In the past, the comedian gave birth to controversy after he mocked Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar. Seems like Tanmay gets some sort of kick by taking shots at well-known artists. Maybe it's time he stopped his attempts to try and grab attention through a petty source as such.
