Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has accepted channel ABC’s apology for a faux pas it made during a TV show by featuring a photograph of another former Indian beauty queen rather than the “Quantico” star.
Priyanka, a former Miss World, was on ABC’s “Nightline” show when the channel aired a clip about her rise to fame. However, it ended up using Miss World 1999 Yukta Mookhey’s photograph instead.
While the show was trolled on social media, Priyanka took it on a lighter vein.

ABC later issued an apology for the mistake and corrected the promo.

Thank you for the correction @Nightline .. #Quantico http://t.co/F8xywfppxi
