Priyanka Chopra on Thursday shared some advice on how to accurately make an apology, perhaps in response to her experience with actor Rosie O'Donnell earlier this week.
After having an 'awkward' online fight with Priyanka and her husband, singer-actor Nick Jonas, O'Donnell posted a few videos on TikTok, and subsequently reposted them on Instagram.
As a result of her confused assumption that Priyanak was daugther Deppak Chopra . O'Donnell went online and posted an apology video in which she referred to Priyanka as 'the Chopra wife' and 'someone Chopra'. Deepak Chopra is an author and alternative medicine advocate.
In her response, Priyanka wrote in an Instagram Story, without taking O'Donnell's name, "Hi everyone. Some thoughts. I have never taken myself so seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that matter. But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly. We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not be referred to as 'someone' or 'wife' especially in a sincere apology. If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic way, the world we raise our children in. will be amazing. Also PS – As I've said before, not all Chopras are related to the great Deepak, just as not all Smith's are related to the legendary Will Smith."
During her first video, O'Donnell recalled the incident, saying, "I was so embarrassed. Was it me that thought that Nick Jonas was married to Deepak Chopra's daughter?" She apologised to Nick Jonas and the Chopra wife.
The actress added in a second video, "I'm reading the comments, and people think she was rude, but it was just awkward. I'm sure she gets sick of that. Priyanka is her name. ", "So I'm reading the comments, and people think she was rude, but she wasn't rude, it was just awkward.
As a famous actress, she is more famous than [Jonas]. So I know it seemed weird to her from the start. Anyway, her name is Priyanka, and I apologize for what I did.
Priyanka's dad, Dr Asok Chopra, died of cancer in 2013; O'Donnell shared a screenshot of her Instagram profile, highlighting her 75 million followers.
They got married in 2018 and recently gave birth to their first child through surrogacy.
