About Priyanka Chopra’s Oscars controversy
For the uninitiated, Priyanka Chopra was one of the presenters at the recently held Academy Awards. She appeared on stage alongside actor-director Ben Stiller, drawing attention after co-presenter Javier Bardem made a live “Free Palestine” and anti-war statement.
Priyanka’s reaction, including an awkward smile while Bardem chanted slogans, went viral on social media, with several netizens criticising her for remaining silent.
Many users claimed she did not appear to support Bardem’s anti-war stance. After the incident, content creator and political commentator Dhruv Rathee posted a video on Instagram discussing Priyanka’s reaction at the Oscars stage.
Sharing the clip, he wrote, “Priyanka Chopra’s reaction at Oscars and Neutrality.”
In the video, Dhruv said, “Watch this video… You have to see Priyanka Chopra’s expression here. Some of you might ask, what did she do wrong? She stayed quiet there, remained neutral, didn’t want to get political… But that’s exactly the problem. The position of neutrality is a position of privilege.”
He added, “If bombs aren’t falling on your home, you can afford to say you’re neutral, that you neither support the war nor oppose it. You can claim neutrality. Geopolitically speaking, in a conflict like the Israel–Iran war, countries such as New Zealand and Iceland can say they’re neutral because they’re geographically distant and not directly affected. But true humanity lies in those who, even from such a position, still choose to stand on the side of what’s right.”
