Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas is feeling sorry for inadvertently hurting the sentiments of a section of people with her upcoming show “The Activist”.
For the Unversed, “The Activist” is a competitive series that pits several activists and public figures against each other to promote their causes on social media with the goal of getting the most money to win the game. To do.
However, the format of the show did not go down well with many. A lot of people on social media called the makers tone-deaf and insensitive.
After facing heavy opposition, the makers changed the format of ‘The Activist’. He shifted its five-episode format to a one-time documentary special.
Addressing the ongoing controversy, Priyanka, who is one of the hosts of the show, on Friday took to her Instagram to apologize for disappointing people.
“I’ve been impressed by the power of your voice over the past week. At its core, activism is driven by cause and effect, and when people come together to raise their voices about something, there’s always an impact. You’ve been heard. The show went wrong, and I’m sorry my participation in this disappointed many of you,” she wrote.
“The intention was always to capture the attention of the people behind the ideas and to highlight the impact of the actions and causes they tirelessly support. I am glad to learn that in this new format, their stories will be the main attraction, and I’m proud to collaborate with partners who keep their ears to the ground and know when it’s time to pause and reevaluate,” Priyanka said.
He continued, “There is a global community of activists who fight every day and shed their blood, sweat and tears to bring about change, but more often than not, they are rarely heard or acknowledged. Their work is so important And they deserve to be recognized and celebrated, too. Thank you to each and every one of you that you do.”
Usher and Julianne Hough also host The Activist.
