Priyanka Chopra has finally spoken out about the Maxim magazine armpit furore

Last week India and much of the rest of the world was seemingly gripped by "armpitgate": the debate over whether actor Priyanka Chopra's underarm skin had been Photoshopped to silky smooth perfection on the cover of Maxim magazine.

The photo sparked the usual outcry over body image and unrealistic beauty standards - particularly for women.

Now the Bollywood star herself has added fuel to the fire by tweeting a #nofilter picture of herself on Tuesday with her arms behind her head, pits exposed to the world.

"Here's another 'pit-stopping' picture to add to the debate. #WillTheRealArmpitPleaseStandUp #nofilter #armpitdiaries", PeeCee wrote:

The message here appears to be Chopra doesn't give a damn what you think about her armpits, Photoshopped or not.

Good for her.
