dispute
In 2022, Priya caused controversy when she responded to a fan on social media who asked her about her bra size. She responded to him on social media saying:
I’m 34D’s brother. I didn’t buy breasts from another planet. The woman in your life has a pair too, and maybe you have to peruse their T-shirts to catch a glimpse of them too. Good luck. ”
In another interview, she gave her reason for responding to the trolls, saying:
While it made it into media outlets, it obviously felt annoying as they repeatedly made it a subject of public conversation. One thing I’ve learned over the years is to ignore. I’ve avoided answering questions like this 999 times because I know it’s better to ignore them. But sometimes you should stand up for yourself. You don’t have to be vocal and have an opinion on everything all the time. But, at some point, even if it’s just once, you should stand up for yourself. I think that’s it. “
