Apurva Asrani

Apurva Asrani also came out in support of Priyanka Chopra after the actress made some shocking claims against Bollywood.

She wrote, ‘Bolly kids grow up being obsessed with talent, their parents applaude their every word /move and they too start to believe that lie, until a really gifted person shows up, smacking them right in their faces and raising the bar high it challenges everything they ever believed(sic).’
