A resurfaced video featuring international star Priyanka Chopra has triggered fresh controversy online, with some social media users accusing the global star of orchestrating a staged publicity moment during a past airport appearance.
The clip, originally recorded in 2017 at Los Angeles International Airport, shows the actress pausing to sign autographs for two individuals.
However, moments later, the same pair appears again, approaching her a second time and seemingly requesting signatures on similar items.
This unusual repetition has led to speculation among viewers, with critics suggesting the interaction may have been planned to create the impression of high fan engagement.
The video recently went viral again just days after Chopra made a appearance at the Academy Awards, where she presented alongside Javier Bardem.
The timing has further fueled online discussion, with some users questioning whether the resurfacing of the clip was coincidental or intentional.
Social media reactions have been sharply divided. While some commenters labeled the moment as an embarrassing PR tactic and questioned the authenticity of the fans, others came to the actress’s defense, arguing that there could be simpler explanations such as fans carrying multiple items or following her through the airport.
Notably, there has been no official confirmation supporting the claims being circulated online, and Chopra’s team has not publicly responded to the allegations so far.
Despite the controversy, Priyanka Chopra continues to maintain a strong presence in international entertainment industry and remains active in both Hollywood and Indian cinema.
