Priyanka Chopra Says She's Aware Of Islam As Her Father Sang In A Mosque, Twitterati Scratch Their Heads In Confusion

Priyanka Chopra in her recent interview with Oprah Winfrey spoke about her secular upbringing. The actress said she was influenced by various religions during her years growing up in India including Hinduism, Islam and Christianity. Her explanation that her father singing in a mosque led her to learn about Islam didn’t really sit well with the netizens who didn’t hold back at all in trolling her for it.

The Quantico actress spoke about various aspects of her life including her relationship with Nick Jonas, her upbringing, her career in Bollywood and the challenges it came with and her book Unfinished and what motivated her to write her memoir.

Talking about her religious and spiritual journey Priyanka told Oprah about the religious influences and said, “I grew up in a convent school. I was aware of Christianity. My dad used to sing in a mosque, I was aware of Islam. I grew up in a Hindu family, I was aware of that.”

From pointing out the one isn’t allowed to sing in a mosque to questioning her awareness about Islam, Priyanka was called out despite her fans pressing hard on the fact that she was being misunderstood by people.
