Rosie O'Donnell apologizes to Priyanka Chopra Jonas for 'awkward' encounter

LOS ANGELES — Former talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell apologized Monday 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.

While dining at Nobu, an upscale sushi restaurant in Malibu, O'Donnell introduced herself to the celebrity couple, who were seated next to the comic's party.
