"Priyanka Chopra has accused Mallika Sherawat of misrepresenting India with her recent comments about its culture. The Hisss star described the country as being &amp;quot;hypocritical&amp;quot; about the position of women in its society.    Chopra told IANS: &amp;quot;I think we are a progressive nation. I disagree that we are a regressive nation. We are all sitting here and talking about educating the girl child, taking our country forward. I think it&amp;#039;s a misrepresentation of what our great nation is on the world platform. &amp;quot;It was something of which I felt extremely offended by. When it comes to Mallika&amp;#039;s statements, I think they were very callous and I don&amp;#039;t agree with her. It was upsetting for me as a woman. It was upsetting for me as a girl who comes from India. I think it was extreme misrepresentation of our nation. I don&amp;#039;t think it&amp;#039;s fair.&amp;quot; Speaking to Digital Spy recently, Sherawat said that she was proud to be representing Indian at the Cannes Film Festival.  The star has previously tried to launch a career in the US, but her debut film Hisss failed to find a distributor. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
