Hypocrisy much?
Priyanka lambasted for using firecrackers at her wedding
Priyanka, who is a vocal asthmatic, was lambasted for hypocrisy after the sky was lit up with spectacular fireworks post the first nuptials.
On Diwali, the actor, as a part of the campaign by Cipla, had urged people not to burn firecrackers and celebrate a pollution-free festival of lights.
In the campaign, Priyanka had emphasized on the side effects of noise and air pollution.
