Priyanka Chopra Believes her Good Friend Meghan Markle is a Victim of Racism But Says She Can Handle it Well
"If there's anyone who can handle it, it's her", said Priyanka when asked if Meghan is a victim of racism in media.
Priyanka Chopra and Meghan Markle's friendship goes back a long way. The duo became friends when she was a part of Suites and PeeCee was busy shooting for Quantico. Later the Baywatch actress was even invited for Meghan's royal wedding to Prince Harry and it was indeed a proud moment for all her admirers. However, the apparent troubles started brewing when the Duchess of Sussex missed Priyanka's big fat Indian wedding in Jodhpur last year. And the latter's absence from Meghan's baby shower only added fuel to this fire. Meghan Markle, to Choose Serena Williams as Royal Baby Archie’s Godmother?

However, Priyanka refuted these feud stories and for the ones who are wondering if they are upset with each other, here comes a clarification from the horse's mouth. In her recent chat with Sunday Times when the Bajirao Mastani actress was asked if Meghan faces criticism in the media, she said, "'I've seen that and it's really unfortunate. But if there's anyone who can handle it, it's her." When asked to elaborate, Priyanka said, "Of course it has to do with racism, it's an obvious reason. But the beauty of Meg is that she's been herself through all of this. A lot of people got to know her after everything, but I knew her before and she's the same chick." Yea, Meg!
