Priyanka Chopra Accepts ABC's Apology Over Faux Pas

Darpan News Desk IANS, 01 Oct, 2015 01:05 PM
  • Priyanka Chopra Accepts ABC's Apology Over Faux Pas
Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has accepted channel ABC's apology for a faux pas it made during a TV show by featuring a photograph of another former Indian beauty queen rather than the "Quantico" star.
 
Priyanka, a former Miss World, was on ABC's "Nightline" show when the chanbnel aired a clip about her rise to fame. However, it ended up using Miss World 1999 Yukta Mookhey's photograph instead.
 
While the show was trolled on social media, Priyanka took it on a lighter vein.
 
Priyanka tweeted: "Lol!" 
 
ABC later issued an apology for the mistake and corrected the promo. 

 

 
"Our sincerest apologies @priyankachopra . Here is the corrected story," read a post on the Twitter handle of the network. 
 
The 33-year-old actress, who plays an FBI agent in her international debut TV show "Quantico", responded: "Thank you for the correction @Nightline."
 
The twitterati, meanwhile, had their share of fun.
 
One pointed out the network's mistake, and wrote: "Uh oh, @Nightline! That's Yukta Mookhey when she was crowned Miss World. Not @priyankachopra", while another tweeted: "Whoops, ABC promoted their new show with a photo of the wrong Indian woman."
