Priyanka Chopra breaks her silence on Salman Khan’s ‘rape comment’ controversy!

Salman Khan's controversial 'raped woman' analogy has received dissension from the fans. While some celebs in B-Town urged people to know more about the interview, others criticized the statement. Amidst the ongoing issue, Priyanka Chopra was also asked about Salman Khan's statement and the actress spoke her heart out. She said, “First of all, you should be asking the person who made this comment. It is very important for the media and for we as women to use our power and talk about the real problem which is happening in India every single day to so many women instead of pushing a controversy for a headline, which is unfair.''

A lot has been said about the Salman issue, I don’t want to add to the noise. I would rather bring notice on real issues. The real problem is us talking about how to treat out women better in India and how to treat women better generally.” Also: WATCH: Salman Khan’s STRONG VIEWS over ‘Nirbhaya Case’ make his ‘raped woman’ comment even MORE INSENSITIVE ? Priyanka’s comment comes at a time when Salman landed in controversy after he said during a media interaction that he felt like a “raped woman” walking out of a ring while shooting for his role as a wrestler in his upcoming film “Sultan”. He received flak for the comment. While social media remained abuzz with reactions to his remark, the National Commission for Women and the Shiv Sena have demanded an apology from him.
