Why a cleavage show? Priyanka Chopra’s photo on Assam Tourism calendar irks controversy

It’s been quite some time since she appeared in a Bollywood film. However, Desi Girl Priyanka Chopra is very enthusiastic about her production house Purple Pebble Pictures, and lends every bit of support possible, from another part of the world. She has also been named the brand ambassador of Assam Tourism and shot for a special calendar.

Now, it is one such photo of hers on the calendar that might lead PeeCee to trouble, since it has irked negative reaction amongg Congress politicians. Apparently, the photo has unnecessary cleavage shows and doesn’t represent the Assamese culture either.

“The government should preserve the respect of the Assamese society. Frock is not an Assamese attire and the calendar pictures were not sober at all. The government should have known how to preserve the prestige of the Assamese society, instead they could have used the traditional mekhela sador. This is the reason we have protested against the calendar,” Congress MLA Rupjyoti Kumari told Time8.

Earlier, another Congress MLA Nandita Das expressed her concern regarding the calendar during an ongoing assembly session.

We’re yet to hear from Priyanka on the same.
