Social media users mock Priyanka Chopra over alleged Dua Lipa snub
Dua Lipa reportedly ignores Priyanka Chopra during a high-profile luxury event in Italy
The actress Priyanka Chopra has become the subject of intense social media scrutiny following the release of a viral video from a recent Bvlgari event in Milan.
The footage, which began circulating on 25 March 2026, appears to show the British singer Dua Lipa ignoring Chopra during the high-jewelry gala.
While the exact context of the interaction remains unverified, many online commentators have interpreted the moment as a deliberate snub, leading to widespread mockery and debate across various digital platforms.
The speculation surrounding the alleged tension has been linked by some users to Chopra’s perceived political stances. This incident follows her appearance at the 98th Academy Awards on 15 March, where she presented an award alongside the Spanish actor Javier Bardem.
During their presentation, Bardem delivered a pointed anti-war message, stating "No to war and Free Palestine," which received significant applause from the live audience. Chopra, standing directly beside him, was observed nodding and smiling briefly before the pair moved on to announce the nominees.
Critics have dissected Chopra’s body language from the Oscars ceremony, with some labeling her reaction as "uncomfortable" or "forced."
The contrast between Bardem’s outspoken activism and Chopra’s more reserved demeanour has fueled ongoing online criticism, particularly regarding her role as a UNICEF Global Goodwill Ambassador.
Neither Chopra nor Lipa have issued official statements regarding the Milan video or the subsequent social media fallout. Currently, Chopra is preparing to resume filming for her upcoming cinematic project, "Varanasi," which is scheduled to shoot in Antarctica later this year.
