Rajiv Adatia has come forward in support of Priyanka Chahar Choudhary amid the ongoing discussion around her appearance on Rise and Fall.
The reality-show personality strongly questioned the decision to label Priyanka a “gold digger” and instead highlighted the hard work behind her journey.
Reacting to the controversy, Rajiv said, “To call Priyanka a gold digger on Rise and Fall is just not right! That girl has worked hard to where she has got too!”
His statement reflects his belief that Priyanka’s professional achievements should be recognised independently, rather than being connected to assumptions about her relationships or financial status.
Rajiv also raised a broader question about the way successful women are perceived. “Why is every successful girl in a man’s eyes called a gold digger?” he asked, drawing attention to what he sees as a recurring double standard.
According to Rajiv, Priyanka has built her life through her own efforts and choices. Calling her “self-made”, he added that she has made her life on her own terms.
The comments have sparked discussion among entertainment audiences, particularly around the tendency to attach labels to women who are financially independent, ambitious or successful.
Rajiv’s support shifts the focus towards Priyanka’s individual journey and the work she has put into establishing herself in the entertainment industry.
Priyanka, who has been part of the television industry for several years, has steadily built her career and fan following. Her journey has included television fiction as well as reality television, making her a recognisable name among viewers.
Rajiv’s comments have now added another voice to the conversation surrounding Priyanka. While reality shows often lead to strong opinions and heated exchanges, his statement focuses on the importance of acknowledging a person’s work before making assumptions about their character.
With the debate around Priyanka continuing, Rajiv’s words have brought attention to the larger conversation about successful women, independence and the labels they face in the public eye.
