Quantico actress Priyanka Chopra rocked the Emmys red carpet with her appearance. In a classic Balmain gown, Priyanka definitely looked stunning and her fans could not stop gushing over her.
So far so good. But, when Priyanka went on to present the award on the stage, the announcer mispronounced her surname and called her ‘Priyanka Chopa’ while introducing her.
Take a look at the video:
