Dear Gossips,

So how about the time Nightline, during a profile of Quantico’s Priyanka Chopra, aired footage of Yukta Mookhey instead? Yukta was Miss World in 1999. Priyanka was named Miss World in 2000. People on Twitter noticed right away:

Uh oh, @Nightline! That's Yukta Mookhey when she was crowned Miss World. Not @priyankachopra! pic.twitter.com/6WDFcc8LSr— HighHeelConfidential (@HHCGuiltFree) September 29, 2015

Nightline then corrected the story and apologised:

Our sincerest apologies @priyankachopra . Here is the corrected story: https://t.co/9IYV8kXfbn— Nightline (@Nightline) September 29, 2015

Priyanka is “the first Indian actor to star in a primetime drama on American TV”. (Source) Quantico premiered to good numbers and decent reviews on Sunday night…on ABC. Which airs Nightline. Like, it was a network priority to promote the show and they couldn’t tell their lead apart from someone else. Makes me feel better about all my typos.

Yours in gossip,

Lainey

Priyanka Chopra made appearances on 'EXTRA', 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', and 'Good Morning America' on September 25-28, 2015.
