Priyanka Chopra Reacted To A Video Where Rosie O'Donnell Called Her "The Chopra Wife" While Apologizing For Thinking Deepak Chopra Is Her Dad
Priyanka Chopra has responded to a TikTok video shared by Rosie O'Donnell earlier this week, where the TV personality recalled incorrectly identifying her as Deepak Chopra's daughter when they met incidentally at a restaurant in Malibu.
Deepak, an author and wellness advocate whose work mainly focuses on alternative medicine and healing, is not related to Priyanka. Although Rosie acknowledged her mistake in the TikTok video and apologized, she didn't address Priyanka by name.
Instead, Rosie called Priyanka "Chopra wife" and seemed to direct her mea culpa almost exclusively at Nick Jonas, Priyanka's husband, since he was also present when their unfortunate encounter took place.
"I just embarrassed my son and his girlfriend, Teresa, and Fran Drescher, because seated next to us at Nobu was Nick Jonas and his wife — someone Chopra — which I always assumed was Deepak Chopra's daughter," Rosie explained on TikTok. "So when I said, 'Hi, Nick Jonas. You were great in Kingdom,' and, 'Hi, I know your dad,' [Priyanka] goes, 'You do? Who's my dad?'"
"I'm like, 'Deepak,'" Rosie continued, recalling how Priyanka noted the error and pointed out that Chopra is a common name. "I felt so embarrassed. ... So, Nick Jonas, I apologize, and to the Chopra wife, I apologize too."
