“Random thing”, is what Priyanka Chopra said as she dismissed The New York Mag's TheCut article in which she has been referred to as a ‘global scam artist,’ with reference to her wedding to American singer Nick Jonas. Journalist Mariah Smith, who authored the article in question, said in it that the 36-year-old actress had tricked Nick, 26, into a lifelong commitment when all he really wanted was a fling.
Asked about the article during an event in New Delhi, Priyanka told an eminent journalist, "I don’t even want to react or comment. It’s not even in my stratosphere. I’m in a happy place at this moment. These kinds of random things can’t disturb it."

The article was circulated on social media while the author, as well as the publication, was censured by several members of the film industry including Arjun Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor. The particular part of the article that has upset a large section of social media, reads, "Priyanka: She is a modern-day scam artist, in my opinion. That's right: Nicholas Jonas married into a fraudulent relationship against his will this past Saturday, December the 1st, and I'll tell you why I think so...” while the headline screams, “Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Love for Real?”
Eventually, the article was retracted by The Cut but celebrities, by then, had expressed their opinion on Twitter:
