Malti Marie, who just turned one, is pictured turned towards Priyanka Chopra and away from the camera
A stunning picture of Priyanka Chopra and daughter Malti Marie, part of a photoshoot for British Vogue, has polarized the Internet. The photo shows Priyanka, 40, reclining with Malti Marie turned towards her and away from the camera. Mother and daughter, who just turned one, are both dressed in red and are posed against a red background. The powerful image was shared by Priyanka Chopra on her Instagram account with the caption "Another one of our many firsts together." The comments thread is filled with admiring responses, some of them from celebrities like Priyanka's cousin Parineeti Chopra, Huma Qureshi, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, Sonali Bendre and Rhea Kapoor.
Several other comments, however, were less than complimentary. Many of those commenting wrote that they didn't see the point of the picture, questioning why Malti Marie was in the photo at all if the world has not been allowed to see her face yet. "You have every right to keep her out of the public eye but why do this purposely and then hide her," read one comment. "That baby is just a prop," read another.
"It's OK not to include her in pictures that are public," someone advised Priyanka in the comments. "Why not just do the photoshoot by yourself," asked another. A third comment added, "Why do celebrities do this?"
"At first it was cute and all, but now it's just getting dramatic," read another comment.
