Priyanka Chopra responded to this comment made by Anubhav Sinha and thanked the director for his support. In her post, Priyanka Chopra wrote, "Thappad nahi.. kaam se maaro." Translated, the line said, "Don't kill with a slap...kill them with your work." This message was in response to the old article that had written her off as a failed actor.

Priyanka Chopra was not always an internationally acclaimed household name. The actor was initially slammed by many critics and some news portals deemed her as a failed actor. In the old article mentioned by Anubhav Sinha, the writer claimed that no big-name Bollywood actor like Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Shahid Kapoor was willing to work with Priyanka Chopra due to personal differences.

The article further alleged that Priyanka Chopra's career would fizzle out due to the lack of a strong male lead alongside her. However, fans of Priyanka Chopra pointed out that the actor did not need a male lead to succeed in her career. Priyanka Chopra then moved to the Hollywood film industry, where she quickly rose to prominence after the success of Quantico. She also featured in multiple Hollywood films.
