International celebrity Priyanka Chopra clapped back at clapped back at an Australian journalist, Peter Ford, who questioned whether she and her husband Nick Jonas were ‘qualified enough’ to announce Monday’s Oscar nominations.
Priyanka and Nick announced the Oscar nominations on Monday, where coincidentally The White Tiger, which Priyanka both produced and acted in won the best adapted screenplay category.
Journalist Peter Ford wrote in a tweet, “No disrespect to these two but I’m not sure their contribution to movies qualifies them to be announcing Oscar nominees.” He also shared the photo of the couple. Ford’s Twitter bio light-heartedly describes him as “the best & most widely heard entertainment reporter in Australia & NZ. Allegedly”.
Priyanka responded on social media, “Would love your thoughts on what qualifies someone. Here are my 60+ film credentials for your adept consideration.” The tweet came with a list of her credits as she scrolled through them on her phone.
