ABC Nightline mistakes Priyanka Chopra for Yukta Mookhey, apologises

She has music videos with a few hundred million views, over 40 Bollywood movies to her credit and more recently, the leading role in ABC‘s Quantico, but Priyanka Chopra was still confused with another Miss World, Yukta Mookhey by the very same network that sanctioned Quantico. A promo video by ABC Nightline mistook Priyanka Chopra for the ex-Miss World, as they used Mookhey’s images to promote their story. Even though they deleted it immediately, it caused enough outrage on social media.

Uh @Nightline… you used the WRONG Bollywood star in your segment! WATCH the awkwardness HERE! http://t.co/feXRb7Mg8q pic.twitter.com/ihg6lcUVCd
