Maxim India named Priyanka Chopra ‘Hottest Woman in The World,’ but her celebration was short lived when people began complaining that her magazine cover was overly photoshopped.
Apparently, the Quantico star was sporting too-smooth-to-be-true armpits.
The ‘Armpitgate’ debate began shortly after Chopra posted a photo of the cover to Instagram. The post now has over 2,500 comments, many of which accuse the star and Maxim of using Photoshop. “Beautiful PC! But Barbie dolls armpits…too Photoshopped!!” one user commented, according to People.
After the Quantico star, 33, shared the cover image on Instagram, fans began pointing out that her underarm appears to be heavily edited. Rather than have the usual folds and bends of a normal underarm area, the photo makes her skin look perfectly smooth.
Twitter was outraged over how the photoshopped pictures would invariably set unrealistic standards of beauty for young girls who look up to the Quantico star as a role model while many criticised her for perpetuating a stereotype at a time when the fashion industry itself is breaking free from them.
A few minutes ago, the actress, who had so far refrained from commenting on the issue, posted a cheeky (armpity?) picture on her Instagram feed, adding her two bits (pits?) on the controversy
