Controversy

In 2022, Priya attracted controversy when she responded to one of her fans on social media who asked her about her bra size. She took to social media and responded to him and said,

I’m a 34D bro.. Breast are not something I bought from a different planet. Women in your life too has a pair, Probably you’ll have to zoom through theri t-shirts aswell to catch a glimpse. Good luck for that.”

In another interview, she gave the reason for responding to the troll and said,

While it becomes a content for media channels, obviously it feels annoying as they are making it as a subject to public talk repeatedly. One thing I learnt over the years, is to ignore. I have avoided answering such questions 999 times as I know it’s better to ignore. But sometimes you should stand up for yourself. You don’t have to be vocal and have an opinion about everything all the time. But, at some point, even for once, you should stand up for yourself. I thinks it’s that.”
