Indian actress Priyanka Chopra recently became the center of online attention after a controversial comment about “virginity” went viral on social media. The quote, which circulated widely, claimed that Priyanka said men should choose women based on their character, not virginity. However, she has now come forward to set the record straight.
The viral quote
The alleged quote that spread across platforms read:
“Don’t marry a girl just because she is a virgin. Virginity can be lost in one night, but character and values stay forever.”
This statement was widely shared, leading to memes, trolling, and heated debates, all claiming it came from Priyanka Chopra.
Priyanka’s response: “I never said that”
Addressing the controversy, Priyanka Chopra firmly denied making any such comment.
“In today’s online world, fake posts have become very common. I never said those words, and I have no connection to those statements,” she said.
“I’ve never made comments about what kind of women men should marry. Sadly, this isn’t the first time someone has spread fake quotes using my name.”
Fake rumors spread easily nowadays
She also pointed out how easy it is for false rumors to go viral:
“People now create rumors just to get fame or go viral. I have never spoken in a way that disrespects men or women. I always say everyone is equal.”
Mixed reactions online
Although Priyanka has clarified her stand, some netizens feel her response came too late, after the post had already gone viral across India. Nonetheless, her statement adds an important voice against misinformation in the digital age.
