Chopra reacted to O'Donnell's public apology by posting a note on her Instagram Stories. Without taking O'Donnell's name, the actor said it would have been better if the comedian had only Googled her name. "Hi everyone. Some thoughts.. 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,” she wrote. Rosie O’Donnell Apologises to Priyanka Chopra After Mistaking Author Deepak Chopra as Her Father.

"We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not be referred to as ‘someone' or 'wife' especially in a sincere apology. If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic way, the world we raise our children in, will be amazing,” she said. In the video, O'Donnell had referred to Chopra as 'someone Chopra' and later as 'the Chopra wife' while apologising to her. The comedian had posted another video in which she took Priyanka's name correctly and apologised again. She had captioned the post, "Priyanka is her name #sorry"
