Oops! Rosie O’Donnell publicly apologized to Priyanka Chopra Jonas after she “mistakenly thought” that she was the daughter of author Deepak Chopra.The former View panelist, 59, was having lunch at Nobu in Malibu on Monday, February 21, when she spotted Chopra Jonas, 39, and her husband, Nick Jonas, at the table next to her. “So I said, ‘Hi, Nick Jonas, you were great in Kingdom,'” O’Donnell recalled in a TikTok video, before she then addressed the Matrix actress.“[I said,] ‘Hi, I know your dad.’ She goes, ‘You do?

Who’s my dad?’ And I go, ‘Deepak,'” the former talk show host said. “She goes, ‘No, and Chopra is a common name.'” Confessing that she was “so embarrassed” by the faux pas, O’Donnell apologized to the new parents in the video, which was posted immediately after the lunch.The next day, the comedian posted a second video to TikTok, clarifying that the Quantico alum “wasn’t rude” when the mix-up occurred. “It was just awkward,” she said. “I’m sure she gets sick of that.

I’m sure I’m not the only one [who was confused].”O’Donnell continued: “I just want to apologize to her and to everyone who thought it was really inappropriate of me.

Sorry. Sometimes I f–k up. I did at Nobu.”Chopra Jonas’ actual father is Dr. Ashok Chopra, who died in 2013 after a battle with cancer.
