Critics called her actions "disrespectful" after she visited the site on a trip to the German capital to promote her new film Baywatch.

The actress was already embroiled in a separate controversy after she wore a dress that bared her legs during a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and soon after that some traditionalists condemned her for “disrespecting the PM.” She later posted a picture of the meeting with Prime Minister on Facebook and said, “Was such a lovely coincidence to be in Berlin the same time as the Prime Minister.”

She also said, "Thank you Narendra Modi, sir, for taking the time from your packed schedule to meet me this morning." And now a fresh row has broken out after Priyanka Chopra was accused of breaking an "unspoken rule" by posing for pictures at the memorial.
