ABC Network Apologizes To “Quantico” Star Priyanka Chopra For Using Wrong Photo

Tags

The renowned TV network ABC apologized to the "Quantico" star Priyanka Chopra for mixing up her photos with another actress' during one of the network's promotions.

ABC made a big blunder recently by using an Indian actress and model Yukta Mookhey's photos instead of the Bollywood actress Chopra's snaps in a promo for "Nightline." ABC's one of the stories titled "How 'Quantico' Star Priyanka Chopra Dealt With Race Issues" was promoted with a wrong photo. The story featured how Chopra dealt with racial bullying during her schooling in the US as well as other similar things she faced in her life, according to Variety.

The network however didn't use photos of a commoner in the place of the famous Bollywood actress who was crowned Miss World in 2000. Mookhey is mistaken for Chopra since she was also an Indian who was crowned Miss World as well but a year after the "Quantico" star was honoured.

Priyanka Chopra Is Sportive About The Mistake

The mistake was revealed when HighHeelConfidential in Twitter wrote on the post that, "Uh oh, @Nightline! That's Yukta Mookhey when she was crowned Miss World. Not @priyankachopra!" Chopra who was sportive about the error did re-tweet the post herself with a message "Lol!" The actress is one of the biggest stars in India that has about 11 million followers in her Twitter account.

The "Quantico" actress who is excited about her debut among new audience doesn't seem to have time to bother about such errors. Chopra told ABC7 about her work schedule that "Doing television and managing my career in India where I'm trying to do both, I mean, it's really hard. If somebody asks me where I live now, I say, 'a plane,'" said Chopra. "But I love my job. I consider myself blessed that I wake up every morning and say, "Yes, I have to go to work!"
