Priyanka Chopra’s Surname Mispronounced As ‘Chopa’ At Emmys 2017, Twitteratis Bash The Announcer
Priyanka Chopra definitely won our hearts with her appearance at Emmys 2017 but her surname was mispronounced as ‘Chopa’ when she was introduced on the stage. This didn’t go well with the Twitteratis and they started bashing the announcer for the goof-up...
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:
