Priyanka clarifies
On Thursday, Priyanka took to Instagram Stories to clarify the misinformation. She reposted the link that falsely attributed the quote to her, setting the record straight about the fake remark.
The post attributed Priyanka as saying, “Don’t look for a virgin as wife. Get a woman with good manners. Virginity ends in one night but manners last forever.”
Setting the record straight, Priyanka wrote, “This is not me, my quote or my voice. Just because it’s online, doesn’t make it true. Creating fake content is now an easy way to achieve virality.”
Priyanka also urged her followers to be cautious while consuming content on social media, advising them not to believe everything they see on the internet as truth.
“None of the links or ‘sources’ attached to this claim, or many others online, are real or credible. Take a minute to cross. Check such content and don’t believe everything you scroll past. Stay safe online,” she added.
