Bollywood slams New York Magazine for calling Priyanka Chopra 'scam artist'

India today woke up to a piece on Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas and their recent wedding that called the actress a 'global scam artist'. The piece, carried by New York Magazine's The Cut, had the choicest of words to speak about Chopra. The piece began with calling Priyanka Chopra a 'modern-day scam artist' and went on to say how Nick Jonas married into a 'fraudulent relationship against his will'.

After more than a 1,000 words on the supposedly 'fake' relationship between Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas, the writer went on to advice the groom: "Nick, if you're reading this, find that horse and gallop away as fast as you can!"

Writer Mariah Smith was criticised severely for her hit job on Priyanka that claimed to give evidence on why she thought Priyanka was a modern-day scam artist. After our article shredded Smith's piece to pieces, the website 'updated' its article.

The article has spawned a lot of criticism on social media with many accusing it of being racist, sexist, baseless and in extremely bad taste.
