Bella Thorne Defends Priyanka Chopra Over Resurfaced Airport Video and 'Hired Fans' Claims

Thorne says the old clip looks like routine autograph-chasing rather than a staged publicity setup.

Overview

  • The recirculated video, reported as archival from 2018, shows the same two people approaching Priyanka Chopra twice for autographs within minutes.
  • Social media users alleged the repeat encounter suggested a manufactured moment or paid fans intended to create buzz.
  • Bella Thorne wrote on Instagram that fans commonly follow celebrities through terminals and that blank autograph pages are sold and later edited.
  • Chopra is seen signing both times in the clip, and there has been no authoritative confirmation that the interactions were arranged.
  • The throwback resurfaced shortly after Chopra’s Nov. 15 pre-release event for SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, drawing renewed attention to her upcoming work.
