Bollywood and Hollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has appealed to US President Joe Biden to help India. India has been facing many problems in its fight to face the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. In her latest tweet, Priyanka appealed to US government officials to help India.
She said that “the situation in my country is critical” and that it would be helpful if the US could “share vaccines”.
Priyanka tweeted, “My heart breaks. India is suffering from COVID19 & the US has ordered 550M more vaccines than needed @POTUS @WHCOS @SecBlinken @JakeSullivan46 Thx for sharing AstraZeneca worldwide, but the situation in my country is critical. Will you urgently share vaccines with India?”

But the tweet was met with some backlash as many asked the actor why she hadn’t talked about it before. One Twitter user wrote, “This tweet was required at least 2 weeks back. You shouldn’t have waited for the #VaxLive campaign to tweet for your fellow countrymen.”
Another commented, “Good morning. The US already agreed to supply the raw materials for vaccine development. This should have been posted yesterday.”
But her fans applauded her for her concern. “So proud of you Queen for having the guts to talk about such an important issue we are facing currently,” one user commented.
