Priyanka Chopra says she's aware of Islam as her father sang in a mosque, gets trolled

During her interview with Oprah Winfrey, Priyanka Chopra says she was "aware of Islam" because her father "sang in a mosque". The actress was trolled to no end for her statement on Twitter.

If there's one thing Oprah Winfrey's interviews promise is controversy - and some shocking revelations while you are at it. Case in point: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. The latest sit-down interview with Priyanka Chopra was no different. A recently released promo clip of Priyanka Chopra's interview with Oprah Winfrey showed Priyanka talking about her religious foundation. The actress talks about her secular upbringing in the clip and also mentioned that she was "aware of Islam" as her late father, Dr Ashok Chopra, used to "sing in a mosque". Twitter, of course, had no chills after Priyanka's admission. Will eat biryani today to increase Islam awareness My dad used to decorate Christmas tree,I was aware of Christianity. pic.twitter.com/N9bBY4WN7L Dear @priyankachopraHow is singing in a mosque makes one aware of Islam? Do many years in India didn't let you know about muslims around you? By this logic- my dad argues cases in court so I am aware of the law. #PriyankaChopra #Oprah pic.twitter.com/gDbVG5aZT1 I saw the movie "Judaai".I am aware of Judaism. #PriyankaChopra https://t.co/fJ0f3XeMmB My dad watched "the mask of Zorro"I'm aware of Zoroastrianism. #PriyankaChopra pic.twitter.com/hAK4iIFnDW I thought singing wasn't allowed in mosques or do i know wrong ?? And at this point Oprah realized "singing" in a Mosque is NOT a thing pic.twitter.com/HmIUACeX2U Priyanka Chopra, during her interview with Oprah Winfrey, spoke about her spiritual foundation, growing up in India. The White Tiger actress spoke about "the swirling number of religions...that live within the country [India]" 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. Spirituality is such a large part of India that you really cannot ignore it."
