Parineeti Chopra is currently in Dubai on a work trip – she seems to be doing promotions for the city’s tourism, and has been posting some great photos and videos from her “holidays”:

However, one post in particular didn’t seem to go down too well with many people. Parineeti apparently shared a video of her strolling on the beach, while a guy – presumably her spotboy – was holding an umbrella for her. Turns out she got a lot of hate in the comments for that post, with many people wondering why she couldn’t just hold it herself.

Of course, it’s common practice for a spotboy to follow a star around with an umbrella on a shoot, but it seems like a lot of the hate stemmed from people assuming she was vacationing and not on a work trip. (Her posts, after all, are intended to look like she’s on holiday in Dubai.)

Anyway, Parineeti pulled the post down, and sportingly took to Facebook to say that the umbrella would be in her hand next time…

… which it was!

Great way to handle it.
