Feb. 24 (UPI) —<\/span> Priyanka Chopra is speaking out following Rosie O’Donnell’s apology for their “awkward” encounter.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old actress responded Wednesday after O’Donnell, 59, apologized for assuming Chopra was actor Deepak Chopra’s daughter during a run-in at a restaurant.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n

“I have never taken myself so seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that matter. But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly,” Chopra wrote on Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n

O’Donnell had said in a video Monday on TikTok that she “felt so embarrassed” after assuming Chopra was Deepak Chopra’s daughter during a conversation with Chopra and her husband, singer Nick Jonas, at Nobu Malibu.<\/p>\n

“To Nick Jonas, I apologize, and to the Chopra wife, I apologize too,” O’Donnell said.<\/p>\n

“Priyanka. I hope I’m pronouncing that right. I just want to apologize to her and to everyone who thought that it was really inappropriate of me,” O’Donnell said.\n<\/p>\n

Chopra, one of India’s most well-known and highest-paid actresses, addressed O’Donnell’s apologies in her statement Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not be referred to as ‘someone’ or ‘wife,’ especially in a sincere apology,” Chopra said. “It we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic way, the world we raise our children in, will be amazing.”<\/p>\n

“Also PS — As I’ve said before, not all Chopra’s are related to the great Deepak, just as not all Smith’s are related to the legendary Will Smith,” she added.\n<\/p>\n
