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.''

She added, ''There is so much reality happening like a brutal rape case in Bihar took place – why is no one talking about the issue? 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.”
