From the day she hit headlines for dating/marrying Nick Jonas, I've been pronouncing it SHOW-pra, bc don't you pronounce the Indian name Chandra as SHAHN-dra?

you don't, actually! indian here, the indian name/word chandra (which means moon, fun fact!) is pronounced with a "ch" sound, like say "chair"... and "chopra"

but from an indian perspective it's funny how you say she hit the headlines for being nick's significant other, cause she's pretty much a household name out here (and won miss world five years before the jobros even debuted lmaoo)

okay, okay, maybe I shouldn't have put it that way, sounded a little insensitive. I love Priyanka and her relationship with Nick!

and ofc Priyanka as a person. I'd never deliberately put her down as only being famous bc Jonas. lol

Thank you. Twitter has scarred me emotionally with all the people pulling their "you're an insensitive bitch" card.

i understand and i don't think you're insensitive for having a point of view that should only be natural, cause you're american and would be more familiar with american pop culture, not india. just found it amusing, that's all

well now you know how to say chandra and chopra, theres that!
