Global star Priyanka Chopra on Thursday (26) took to Instagram stories to address and debunk a viral quote falsely attributed to her regarding marriage and virginity. The quote, which has been circulating across various social media platforms, allegedly advised men not to seek a virgin when looking for a wife. Priyanka, however, made it clear that she never made such a statement and called out the dangers of believing everything seen online.
The Viral Fake Quote
The widely shared post attributed the following words to Priyanka, “Don’t look for a virgin as wife. Get a woman with good manners. Virginity ends in one night but manners last forever.” This supposed advice quickly gained traction on social media, with many users sharing and commenting on it as if it were a genuine statement from the actress.
Priyanka’s Response: Setting the Record Straight
Priyanka Chopra responded promptly by reposting the link that falsely attributed the quote to her, using her platform to clarify the misinformation. She wrote, “This is not me, my quote or my voice. Just because it’s online, doesn’t make it true. Creating fake content is now an easy way to achieve virality.”
She further urged her followers and the general public to exercise caution when consuming content online. Priyanka emphasized the importance of verifying information before accepting it as truth, especially in an era where misinformation spreads rapidly and can easily go viral.
A Warning Against Online Misinformation
Priyanka didn’t stop at denying the quote. She used the opportunity to educate her followers about the prevalence of fake news and AI-generated content. She pointed out that none of the links or sources attached to the viral claim were real or credible.
She advised, “take a minute to cross-check such content and don’t believe everything you scroll past. Stay safe online.”
Her message was clear: the ease with which fake content can be created and shared means everyone must be vigilant and discerning about what they choose to trust and share.
