Actor Priyanka Chopra's nodding response to Javier Bardem's 'Free Palestine' remark at the Oscars 2026 stage has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Political commentator Dhruv Rathee has criticised Priyanka for staying silent and neutral, calling it a position of privilege.
Dhruv Rathee took to Instagram to post a video about Priyanka's reaction at the Oscars 2026 stage, saying, 'The position of neutrality is a position of privilege.' He explained that if bombs aren't falling on your home, you can afford to say you're neutral, but true humanity lies in those who stand on the side of what's right.
Dhruv hailed Spain and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for defying US President Donald Trump's request to jointly operate bases in southern Spain to attack Iran. He also called out Bollywood stars for their silence, saying they are either fearful or selfish and think a hundred times before taking a moral stand.
Priyanka Chopra is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and Dhruv questioned her ability to take a stand on something as simple as Palestine. Priyanka's reaction to Javier Bardem's statement has triggered mixed reactions across social media, with social media users divided over the viral moment.
