This was soon followed by Twitter users taking digs at either the mobile company or the actress.
@priyankachopra mocked our religion this scene is offending me. I request everyone one to record their protest & tweet with #BoycottSamsung

No one has right to mock hindutva. Hello @Samsung @SamsungMobile remove her or we will boycott your products.
Shame on you @priyankachopra for disrespecing our nation in an international show just for some fame and money.

This is how Priyanka Chopra repays us for making her top Bollywood star- by not protesting against Hindus being shown as terrorists in serial Quantico starring her in lead role. Shame on you #PriyankaChopra #BoycottSamsung until they remove her from brand ambassador post

Hilarious, unbelievable, ridiculous, disgusting, shocking... isn't it? Wait, there's more. They did not just stop at cursing Priyanka Chopra and Samsung, they maligned Twitter India too.
Thousands of tweets on #BoycottSamsung but not in trends because they have already paid @TwitterIndia for a sponsored activity. Now let them show it doesn’t matter & keep tweeting until they apologise & remove Priyanka Chopra. pic.twitter.com/yTkaI1CTuR

Well, we don't know whether this is going to be a rage soon or just laughed off at but one thing is for sure, the Twitter army can go to any extent of stupidity.
