"Someone tell Priyanka Chopra that mosque and dargah are two very different things! No one sings in a mosque. We only pray there," one user explained. "The singing is done at Sufi shrines called dargah! International level ka ignorance hai inka." [Translates to "International level of ignorance she has."]
"They don't sing in a mosque. They recite the holy Quran and Azan," another user noted. "Someone help me understand her."
"Ya dad did whaattt now?? [Priyanka Chopra] ... being a non-Muslim he went to sing in the mosque (note it's not singing it is the call to prayer or reciting)," someone else wrote, then quipping, "Are you sure he didn't go to Mecca bingo hall and was singing karaoke?"
"I'm embarrassed for her, she trying too hard to sound like she's wise with everything — a simple 'I'm aware of different religions and cultures' would have been enough," one user offered.
"Perhaps... The understanding of Islam, for her, was from songs sung by her dad. The mosque was one of the venues she could remember. Or I could be wrong," another user wrote, offering a suggestion on what Chopra meant.
