Actor Priyanka Chopra took a dig at Hasan Minhaj as a mark of support for Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai.

Malala had earlier shared a reel of the comedian pretending to express the grief that she had unfollowed him on Instagram in a sketch, mentioning that she wasn’t going to follow him anymore.

Priyanka posted a screenshot of Hasan’s profile, showing that she wasn’t following him back either.

Priyanka wrote, “Same girl, same Malala. Looks like he prefers petty over funny.”

This all started when Hasan Minhaj made a statement that she did not follow back Malala on Instagram. This prompted Malala to ask her fans whether she unfollows Minhaj, and she did it after many deliberations. 

Then, the comedian Minhaj came up with this video: 

Recently, Priyanka advocated for children’s rights as she addressed a conference at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.  She also posed for photos with Malala and US poet Amanda Gorman. Priyanka, who became the Global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 2016, shared a photo with Malala and Amanda and wrote, “So proud to share the stage with these two remarkable women.”

On the work front, Priyanka has several projects in the pipeline, including Citadel and the Bollywood film Jee Le Zaraa.
