Former talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell apologised Monday (Feb 21) to actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas after wrongly assuming the White Tiger star's father was author Deepak Chopra.

In a TikTok video shared over the holiday weekend, O'Donnell admitted to humiliating her son, his girlfriend and fellow comedian Fran Drescher by initiating what she later called an "awkward" encounter with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and her husband, singer-actor Nick Jonas.
