Rosie O'Donnell has issued an apology to Nick and Priyanka Chopra Jonas following an awkward encounter at a California restaurant. Taking to TikTok on Sunday, 59-year-old O'Donnell revealed that she had met Priyanka, 39, and Nick, 29 after being seated next to the young couple at the acclaimed Nobu Malibu. However, after speaking to the pair, O'Donnell then revealed that her comments left both her son and his girlfriend "embarrassed". You see, O'Donnell has "always assumed" that Priyanka was the daughter of famous author Deepak Chopra... so she decided to bring it up. Check out O'Donnell's video below: [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@rosie/video/7066961123521776942]] In the video, she explains: "So when I said, 'Hi, Nick Jonas. You were great in Kingdom' and 'Hi, [Priyanka]. I know your dad.' She goes, 'You do? Who's my dad?' And I'm like, 'Deepak'. She's like, 'No, and Chopra is a common name.'" O'Donnell adds that the exchange left her feeling "so embarrassed". And, for what it's worth, the whole incident also left Fran Drescher feeling embarrassed, who apparently witnessed the foot-in-mouth moment unfold. To make matters worse for O'Donnell, although Deepak Chopra is still alive, Priyanka's actual father, Dr. Ashok Chopra, died in June 2013. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263145970" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/2H8FNGE-683x1024.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Abaca Press / Alamy]] The former The View presenter then asked if she was "the only one" who believed Priyanka was married to Deepak's daughter, before issuing an apology to the couple. "Nick Jonas, I apologize," she said, "And to the Chopra wife, I apologize too." However, this tale doesn't end there. After sharing the original TikTok, several users took to the comments section to call out O'Donnell for failing to use Priyanka's name throughout the entire video. "Priyanka Chopra is one of the most famous Indian actors in the world. Love you, but let’s not call her 'Nick’s wife,'" one TikToker commented. Another added: "Maybe learn her name if you're going to apologize." <img class="size-large wp-image-1263145990" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-23-at-15.59.26-1024x250.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="250" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-large wp-image-1263145991" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-23-at-15.59.37-1024x260.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="260" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-large wp-image-1263145992" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-23-at-15.59.50-1024x261.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="261" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] <img class="size-large wp-image-1263145993" src="https://img.vt.co/2022/02/Screenshot-2022-02-23-at-15.59.57-1024x194.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="194" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] In response to these comments, O'Donnell has issued yet another apology. In a follow-up video, she said that she had learned from reading the comments that Priyanka is a famous actor and that many people consider her to be more famous than her husband. O'Donnell then says: "Priyanka is her name... Priyanka, I hope I'm pronouncing that right. I just want to apologize to her and to everyone who thought it was really inappropriate of me. Sorry, sometimes I f*** up." <h6>Featured image credit: MediaPunch Inc / Alamy</h6>
