Comedian Hasan Minhaj jokes about Malala, Priyanka Chopra replies

Priyanka Chopra has sent a shout out to Malala Yousafzai after she unfollowed actor and comedian Hasan Minhaj, who mocked the Nobel Peace Prize winner for following him on Instagram. Earlier this month, Hasan Minhaj said: “I made a joke about Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala [Yousafzai]. I said she follows me on Instagram and I don’t follow her back.”

Now, Priyanka Chopra has shared a screenshot of Hasan Minhaj’s Instagram profile to show her support for Malala Yousafzai, who unfollowed the comedian after the incident. Priyanka, who is also not following him, wrote: “Same girl, same Malala Yousafzai. I guess he likes it more petty than funny.” The actress also tagged Hasan Minhaj. Priyanka’s post comes hours after the comedian posted a video to Instagram asking Malala Yousafzai to follow him back.

Hasan Minhaj said in the video titled “Malala claps back”: “On October 4th I made a joke about Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala [Yousafzai]. I said she follows me on Instagram and I don’t follow her back. Then, on October 5, she hit back. Instead of running a runoff, she unfollowed me on Instagram. I’m sorry Malala, follow me back. But I don’t know if I will follow you. I’m so petty.” The comedian wrote, “Okay, it’s getting out of hand,” tagging Malala Yousafzai.

As revealed in Hasan Minhaj’s video, Malala Yousafzai conducted a poll on Instagram after the Oct. 4 incident and asked her online family, “Should I stop following Hasan Minhaj?” While 38% of people said “yes.” , 39% of users wanted to know “Who is this man?”.

Meanwhile, Malala Yousafzai also shared Hasan Minhaj’s latest post on her Instagram Stories, writing, “Thanks to everyone who sent me this because I’m unfollowing this man.”
