New Delhi, Jul 21: Global icon Priyanka Chopra, who revealed suffering from asthma last year, was seen enjoying a smoke on a yacht with her family as she continued her birthday celebrations.

In a picture from her family vacation, which has now gone viral on social media, Priyanka can be seen smoking a cigarette, while her mother Madhu Chopra and husband Nick Jonas can be seen enjoying a cigar on the yacht ride.

Priyanka is no stranger to being trolled, whether it's her fashion choices, her Met Gala look, or her red carpet appearances. She is one celebrity who has been a favourite of the trollers.

But the 'Desi Girl' has always shut down trollers like a boss. And this time around, she is being called out brutally on social media for smoking, with netizens calling her a 'hypocrite'.

For the unversed, the 'Quantico' star had released a video last year, urging the people to not burst crackers on Diwali, in order to curb pollution. The actor, who is asthmatic, said in the clip, that the festival should be about "lights and laddoos and love, and not pollution".

Last year, Priyanka also joined hands with a brand for an ad campaign to shed light on the truth about asthma and spreading awareness. The actor also revealed that she was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 5, but that did not stop her from living a normal life.

Now, netizens are criticising the actor for being "hypocrite" and "fake". Fans also dug out a tweet from 2010 in which the 37-year-old star wrote, "Smoking is awful!!! Yuck!!!"

A user called out the actor, by sharing her yacht ride picture and writing, "Hypocrite."

Another user slammed Priyanka, writing, "Yeh kaun saa Asthma hai jo kewal Diwali me hi hota hai."

A person, trolling the actor, shared a meme from the film 'Main Hoon Na' in which actor Zayed Khan can be seen saying, "Dekho mat, saha nhi jayega." Alongside, the meme, he wrote, "Asthma patients."

Another user wrote, "It's your life, It's your choice but why this Hypocrisy," along with a picture of her old tweet and her yacht ride photo where she can be seen smoking.

"The curious case of Priyanka Chopra Pic 1: When In Bollywood, Asthma campaign. Pic 2: When In Hollywood, Who's got the weed," another user wrote slamming the actor.

"Priyanka Chopra is the same topper student who says, "yaar maine to kuch padha hi nhi" but we all know what the reality is," a user wrote alongside pictures of her old tweet and the actor smoking.

Earlier, Priyanka also faced backlash for the grand fireworks display after her Christian wedding with Nick. Netizens called her a hypocrite at that time and asked what happened to her disease and concern for the environment when she lit fireworks to celebrate her special day.

Meanwhile, Nick recently hosted a grand birthday party for Priyanka, who turned 37 on July 18. The actor was treated to a five-tier red and gold glittery birthday cake, to go along with the colour of her dress. Nick posted a series of videos from the party to his Instagram story, including one of him showing off the birthday cake.

Prior to the birthday bash, Nick took to Instagram to wish his wife on her special day. He posted two pictures of Priyanka that appeared to be from his brother, Joe Jonas' recent wedding celebration in France, and shared a heartfelt caption wishing her happy birthday.

Mumbai, May 12: Superstar Salman Khan on Tuesday released his latest romantic single "Tere Bina" featuring Jacqueline Fernandez while in quarantine at his Panvel farm house.

The actor, along with close family and friends from the industry, including Iulia Vantur, Waluscha De Sousa, is living in the farm house. This is the second song Salman has released amid the coronavirus pandemic, after "Pyaar Karona."

"About seven weeks ago, when we came to the farm, we didn't know we will be here under a lockdown. So we wanted to do things to keep ourselves busy. That's when we decided to do these songs. We launched 'Pyaar Karona' and now, we are launching 'Tere Bina'," Salman said in a statement.

The song, sung and directed by Salman, is composed by his friend Ajay Bhatia and written by Shab bir Ahmed.

The actor said he had the song "Tere Bina" with him for quite a while but because it wasn't fitting into any of his film, he decided to release it now.

Jacqueline said she didn't think they would be able to shoot the song, which they finished in four days of evening shoots, with such limitations.

"We are used to shooting songs on a large stage with grand production costs. There are costumes, hair, make up. All of a sudden, we find ourselves with a team of three people. For the first time, I was checking lighting and moving props around. It was a great experience and it taught us how to make the most of what we have," she said.

Salman recently sent out food packets and ration from his farm house to those affected by the lockdown.

"The scourge we are up against. is fearsome and unknown to us. Like all uncharted paths, our journey to overcome every new challenge it throws at us will be arduous. There will be times when the best intentions might yield the wrong results. There may also be times when we accidentally stumble upon important solutions," he added.

"All we can really do is try our utmost to adapt and confront each challenge with courage. As a nation, and as a people, it is our duty to give it all we've got. I am going to try my best and I know each one of you will do so too. Only together we will able to fight through these difficult and unimaginable days. Together. we will overcome," he said.

Los Angeles, Jan 9: Actors Salma Hayek and Tiffany Haddish are hopeful about the future for women in Hollywood and now cinema is making films about women because the audience was "neglected".

The duo along with Rose Byrne star in Like a Boss, a comedy directed by Miguel Arteta, which follows best friends Mia and Mel (Haddish and Byrne) who join forces to run their own boutique cosmetics company.

When the prospect of a big buyout offer from a notorious titan of the beauty industry (Hayek) tempts them, their lifelong bond - and their business - is put in jeopardy.

Hayek said she is happy with the increase in female-driven films in Hollywood.

"We're on the right path. And we're not going to stop," the actor told Variety.

"What I can tell you is that a lot more women are directing and acting and writing and producing. And there are a lot more movies made about women and for women because the audience was neglected, she said.

She was speaking at the premiere of the film in New York.

Haddish added that the mantle for change shouldn't be left to the traditional decision-makers.

To get things, one has to sometimes make noise, the actor-author said.

"It's about us putting in the work and creating the projects and creating the opportunities in order to do those things to make it better. I sit back and I listen to people talk sometimes, saying, 'They're not letting us; they're not giving it to us.' Why do we have to ask permission? Why can't we just start putting it together? If they want to come on board with it, come on board. And if not, oh well," Haddish said.

"I'm about creating an opportunity. People say I'm loud and obnoxious, but sometimes it’s the squeaky wheel that gets the oil and gets things done," she added.

The comedy comes on the heels of a year gone by in cinema that featured female protagonists in films like Little Women and Captain Marvel.
