Armeena Khan is one of those celebrities who has no qualms expressing herself openly. She adds her point of view in the happening of the world. Most recently, when India and Pakistan’s relationship was hitting rock bottom, Armeena was one of the Pakistani celebrities advocating for peace.
Last few days have been very heavy on my heart. All around me is war, carnage, blood, hatred and division. Where did humanity go wrong? May the creator deliver these power hungry monsters to hell and rid us of their evil.

After Priyanka Chopra sent out her tweet about India’s LOC crossing, Armeena was one of the first Pakistani actors to call her out on it.
WHAT?!!! But aren’t you supposed to be a Good Will ambassador for @UNICEF? Screen shot this everyone and next time she speaks up for peace and goodwill. Let’s remind her of this hypocrisy. https://t.co/Jew88bMtYv

She was definitely one of the louder voices during the time period where Priyanka was being called out.
Even during that time, she was calling her better sense to prevail.
“It is easy to advocate peace whilst the sun shines. When the storm rages, it is then your character, principles & values are tested. Will you turn your face into the wind and stand by what is right or will history find you wanting?” – Me #peace #saynotowar ❤️🤘🏻

After Priyanka’s tweet, Pakistanis started a petition online to remove the actor as a UN Goodwill Ambassador.
Almost a month later, Armeena Khan posted about all the trolling she has been facing since.
She laid the blame for it, on ‘Team Priyanka’ and called them ‘classless’.
Team Priyanka attacking me from fake accounts. So classless honestly.

She went to share some of the tweets she had been getting, and WOW, this is some next level trolling.
Temporarily uploaded for your viewing pleasure. All within the last few hours 🧐 one has to wonder. Oh for the record, I didn’t start the petition AND I am not a goodwill ambassador. #teampriyankaattack pic.twitter.com/knzTjI7w13

These trolls were not going easy on Armeena.
They called her names.
They even talked about her recent movie, ‘Sherdil’.
People were telling the actress to just ignore them.
Oh God. What crazy nation. Ignore them and block.

‘Let them bark’ was the message of the day!
Why you are minding the words of people who's work is to bark on the success of others

Her fans were actively trying to boost her spirits.
This is all because they don't understand the difference between film & reality..
For their clarification, in movie india can invade n get successful but in reality it invades and gets caught.. 😂 #Abhinandan is a living example.. 👊🏻— The Vampiress (@WhiteColdBlood) March 21, 2019
Armeena took a bold step and spoke up against Priyanka when she went against the principles of her position as a Goodwill Ambassador. It is just surprising to know that even though some time has passed, Armeena still has to face a lot of hate online.
