Priyanka Chopra recently found herself surrounded by many good and bad comments regarding her dress she wore at the Grammys 2020. The actor was appreciated for putting up a bold and experimental look while some criticised her for 'showing too much skin'.

One such comment that created a major rage among Priyanka’s fans was a comment by late designer Wendell Rodricks. He clarified the things but however there was no response from the actor. Unfortunately, the designer passed away on February 13, 2020, in Goa. Recently, Priyanka Chopra’s mother Madhu Chopra mourned the demise of Wendell Rodricks and said that her family holds no grudges against him.
