Priyanka Chopra 'smiles' and 'nods' at Javier Bardem's 'No War and Free Palestine' comment at Oscars; netizens split

One of the highlights of the event was Priyanka Chopra's reaction, who smiled and nodded, visibly agreeing with Javier Bardem's message of maintaining global peace.

Priyanka Chopra is making headlines for her appearance at the Oscars for more than one reason.

While her white Dior gown with a feather-trimmed slit became the talk of the town, what got even more attention was her reaction to the Spanish actor Javier Bardem's 'Free Palestine' statement.

When Chopra was invited on stage along with Barde to present the Best International Feature Film award at the Oscars, Bardem, who was flaunting a ‘No to War’ pin on his tuxedo, took the moment to spread a message of peace as he was heard saying, "No to war and Free Palestine".

The message was instantly met with loud cheers from the crowd. However, the highlight was Chopra's reaction, who smiled and nodded, visibly agreeing with Bardem's message of global peace.

Some fans were quick to appreciate Chopra for backing the Free Palestine movement and no war message, while others called it "hypocrisy".

However, Chopra has stayed silent on the controversy.

But amid the brouhaha and after the glamourous Oscars night, the Citadel star gave fans a glimpse into her personal life.

She shared a heartwarming picture with her daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas snuggling and cuddling up to her on her Instagram stories.

In the close-up selfie, Chopra, who looks visibly tired and rightly so after a long night at the Academy Awards, is seen smiling at the camera, while Malti's face is placed on her chest, against the camera showing her curly hair adorned with a pink bow and a small star-shaped clip.
