What's the story

Priyanka Chopra met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday in Delhi in connection with an upcoming conference of Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (PMNCH). She wore a white anarkali to meet the Prime Minister, and her choice of attire caught the attention of social media users. For the uninitiated, PeeCee was trolled for donning a dress while meeting PM in Berlin, last year.

Priyanka Chopra expresses gratitude to the Prime Minister

Very grateful to the honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi to meet me, Shri J.P. Nadda (Indian Health Minister) and Mrs. Michelle Bachelet, (former President of Chile, incoming #PMNCH Chair) in regards to being a patron for the Partners' Forum which is being held in New Delhi in December this year. The aim is very important - the improvement and transformation of access to quality healthcare at at every life stage for women, children and adolescents, in an effort to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in 2030. This year, India will play host to the largest ever Partners' Forum, with more than 1,200 delegates from more than 92 countries. It was an insightful, positive conversation which was very heartening and inspiring because of the personal commitment of everyone at the meeting. We covered a lot of ground from the various efforts being taken by individual countries & partners to building a collective environment that could help propel the change we seek for a better world. We started something important today and I am looking forward to what is being set in motion. @narendramodi #JPNadda #MichelleBachelet #2018PMNCHLive #PMNCH #PartnersForum

Berlin chapter

Hopefully, trolls will shut-up this time and not spew hatred

While it is highly unlikely, PeeCee kept trolling in mind while choosing the attire, one cannot help but remember last year's incident in Berlin. The International star was trolled for sitting cross-legged as she wore a knee-length dress while meeting PM Modi in Berlin, last year. Jobless trolls called her attire inappropriate for the occasion and said she had no respect for the PM.

This is how Priyanka Chopra replied to trolls back then
