Big B refrains from commenting on Priyanka Chopra's dress controversy in Berlin

While asked to react, Bachchan said: "I am neither PM, nor Priyanka Chopra. How can I answer then?"

Chopra, who was on a promotional tour to Berlin for her recently released Hollywood film Baywatch, met Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was also present in Germany at that time.

The Indian origin actor uploaded a picture with PM on both Facebook and Instagram, where she was seen to wear a knee-length white attire and sat crossing her legs.

Several Facebook users reacted to the picture who found her dress "indecent" and opined that she should not have shown her legs to the PM.

One female user was seen to attack the Quantico actress for her dressing sense and said: "I am totally surprised and unhappy about the dressing part of MS Chopra. She would have maintained her dress code with a purely Indian attire.. Saree.. this surely proves that MS Chopra is far away from manners and proper dress sense!!!!!!"

The comment was immediately countered by another user who came out to support Chopra and said: "She's wearing clothes like that because a classy man like him doesn't focus on a woman's legs...of course unlike some of you perverts ! Kapdo seh aage badho and change your orthodox mentality. We are living in the 21st century and that dress is pretty decent at a time like this."

The comments kept on flooding in the social networking site till the actress herself gave a befitting reply to all her attackers by posting a picture with her mother, where both were seen to flaunt their toned legs.

In a picture posted with her mother, the desi girl commented, "Legs for days.... #itsthegenes with @madhuchopra nights out in #Berlin #beingbaywatch."

Bachchan was present at the music launch of a single Phir Se, sung by Amruta Fadnavis, who happens to be the wife of Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, where he was asked to react on the controversy.

Chopra, a known face on American television for her role in the Quantico series, has kept her feet into Hollywood films with Baywatch.

Apart from Chopra, several other actresses like Deepika Padukone and Disha Patani were also the victims of body shaming and received objectionable comments on social networking site for their dresses.

Padukone once reacted to a picture carried by one media house where they highlighted her cleavage and said that she has cleavage because of her gender.

Recently on Twitter, actress Disha Patani was attacked by one of her followers, for wearing a "revealing" attire.

Like Padukone, Patani too reacted to the user's comment and said: "...It's easier to judge a woman on the basis of how much they cover up their skin, but it's hard to accept your own cheap mentality where you can't stop staring at those inappropriate areas which you are asking her to cover!...."
