Priyanka Chopra said that she got angry at the remarks of a journalist who questioned her contribution to movies last year. The 39-year-old actor said that she usually doesn’t get upset, but the comments made by Australian journalist Peter Ford just “pissed” her off, according to an interview with Vanity Fair. Last March, Ford wondered if Chopra and her husband Nick Jonas were qualified to announce the Oscar nominations. “No disrespect to these two but I’m not sure their contribution to the movies qualifies them to be announcing Oscar nominees,” Ford had tweeted at the time. The tweet received a lot of flak from many of Priyank’s fans, who asked Ford to watch her films or to just Google her. In another interview, Priyanka opened up about the scrutiny that followed after she dropped her husband's last name from her Instagram handle. Describing the social media uproar as 'a professional hazard' Priyanka said, "It's a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that's behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate. It's just a professional hazard... Because of the noise of our social media, because of the prevalence that it has in our lives, I think it seems a lot larger than it is. I think that we give it a lot more credence in real life, and I don't think it needs that."
