Indian actress Priyanka Chopra has come under fire for her silence on the Palestine issue at the 2026 Oscars ceremony. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, showing Priyanka Chopra smiling awkwardly as she fails to support the Palestinian cause. The Indian actress is facing criticism not only from Pakistani fans but also from several prominent personalities around the world, including Indian YouTuber Dhruv Rathee.
Dhruv Rathee, a well-known Indian YouTuber, has shared a new video on Instagram, criticizing Priyanka Chopra for her silence on the Gaza Strip’s suffering under Israeli atrocities. In the video, Rathee argues that Chopra’s silence on the issue is unacceptable, especially given her status as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
Rathee questioned whether it’s acceptable for an actress to remain silent on such a critical issue, saying that it’s not about being neutral, but about taking a stand. He pointed out that several Hollywood actors have spoken out against injustice, even when it’s not directly affecting them.
The Indian YouTuber also criticized the Bollywood industry for being too cautious and afraid to take a stand, saying that this is a sign of bad luck. He suggested that this is a result of the industry’s fear of offending powerful individuals, rather than taking a moral stance.

The controversy comes as the Indian government has been criticized for its handling of the Kashmir issue, and the Bollywood industry has been accused of being too silent on the matter. The incident has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many calling for the industry to take a stronger stance on human rights issues.
