There’s nothing wrong with it. When you travel a lot and you meet and interact with people you tend to pick their accent

Both actors seem to have trained hard to speak with an accent for this event

Both actors were constantly referring to USA as the “Mecca of filmmaking” in their interviews just ahead of the Golden globe. Felt like they were made to memorize that sentence many times by PR.

Both the actors sat and planned this accent. Unfortunately this isn’t relatable to most Telugu speaking Indians living in the US.

Absolute stupidity to use accents . I have worked with US folks for about 10 yrs now and never once I felt I need to change my accent . In fact I believe our English is more correct than theirs.

What is that accent NTR JR? Lol People make fun of Priyanka but at least she spent some time in the west before switching accents.
I don’t really care as it’s a personal choice but that was hilarious

Well, this is not the first time a celebrity has been called out for their accent when interviewing in the West. Earlier, actresses like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra Jonas were also trolled for the change in their accents when working in Hollywood.
