During a recent Malibu outing, comedian Rosie O'Donnell made a blunder when she bumped into Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra at a restaurant. O'Donnell went over to welcome them and mistook Priyanka Chopra for author Deepak Chopra's daughter. O'Donnell afterward rushed to Instagram to apologise to Chopra and for misreading her identity.

O'Donnell said in a TikTok video that she mistook Priyanka Chopra's identity, thinking her father was well-known Indian-born US self-help author Deepak Chopra.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

바카라Seated next to us was Nick Jonas and his wife, someone Chopra 바카라 Which I always assumed was Deepak Chopra바카라s daughter,바카라 O바카라Donnell said. She narrated further, "So when I said, 바카라Hi Nick Jonas, you were great in Kingdom, and, 바카라Hi (Priyanka) I know your dad바카라. She goes, 바카라You do? Who바카라s my dad?바카라 And I go, 바카라Deepak바카라. And she goes, 바카라No... and Chopra바카라s a common name. I felt so embarrassed. Didn바카라t you think Nick Jonas was married to Deepak Chopra바카라s daughter? Am I the only one who thought that?바카라.

O'Donnell apologised to the couple for her mistake. She also rebutted remarks in which some said Chopra was "rude" to her. In another video, she said, "So I바카라m reading the comments, and people thought she was rude, she wasn바카라t rude, it was just awkward. I바카라m sure she gets sick of that. She바카라s apparently a very well-known actress and more famous than him (Nick). So I바카라m sure it felt weird to her to begin with."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Although referring to Priyanka Chopra as "Chopra wife" seemed to irritate The Matrix Resurrections star's fans even more, who claimed to have brought it to O'Donnell's attention, leading to her uploading another video of apology. In the second video, O'Donnell particularly apologised to Chopra and said, "Priyanka is her name. She's apparently a very well known actress and more famous than [Jonas]. So I'm sure it felt weird to her to begin with. Anyway, Priyanka is her name. And I just want to apologise to her and to everyone who thought it was inappropriate of me." 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas were recently photographed out and about in Malibu. It was one of the few occasions the power couple appeared in public since announcing the birth of their child via surrogacy in January. Chopra and Jonas dressed down for their date night. 'The Matrix Resurrections' actress was dressed in a white crop top with a striped shirt over it. She wore it with blue jeans and her hair pulled back in a ponytail. The singer-actor was dressed casually in a sweatshirt and white jeans.

On the work front, Chopra will be seen in 'Text For You,' co-starring Sam Heughan, and Citadel, co-starring 'Game of Thrones' and 'Bodyguard' actor Richard Madden.
