Priyanka Chopra accepts ABC’s apology over faux pas

While promoting the new series ‘Nightline’, the ABC network confused Priyanka Chopra with another Indian actress and former Miss World, Yukta Mookhey. While talking about the ‘Quantico’ star Priyanka, the network used the screenshots of Yukta being crowned as Miss World.

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.

Later 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 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 actor, who plays an FBI agent in her international debut TV show Quantico, responded: “Thank you for the correction @Nightline.”
