Priyanka Chopra has apologised after she was called out on social media for referring to Sikkim as a state "troubled with insurgency" in an interview to ET Canada, at the ongoing Toronto International Film Festival. After massive outrage on social media, a glimpse of which are tweets calling Priyanka "stupid" and "pea-brained" for her choice of words, the actress' team got in touch with Sikkim Tourism minister Ugen Gyatso. "I condemn Priyanka's statement. Being an international figure, it's a very disappointing comment on her behalf. It has definetly made us feel bad and sad but she has apologised us through a mail, likewise her mother Madhu Chopra also apologised over phone today in presence of Sikkim media persons." Priyanka referred to Sikkim as "troubled" when she was speaking in connection with her new Sikkimese production - Pahuna - which premiered at the prestigious film fest last week.
