Priyanka Chopra sitting cross-legged in a skirt while interacting with PM Modi in Berlin in 2017 had sparked a controversy then. Opening up on it in her book Unfinished, she shared that she had contacted the leader’s office upon learning that they were both staying at the same hotel.

The 'Desi Girl' stated that her response to the ’anger’ was posting a picture with her mother Dr Madhu Chopra, both dressed in her skirts, and captioning, 'it runs in the family’.

On a serious note, Priyanka believed that she had presented herself ‘respectfully’, the snippet in the book read. Priyanka added that she had worn skirts and dresses all her life in India, be it at school or elsewhere, so could not understand why it was suddenly being considered so ‘unacceptable.’ The Mary Kom actor stated that entire ‘uproar’ had ‘baffled and saddened’ her.
