Over the years, actress Priyanka Chopra has garnered a huge fan base worldwide with her timeless beauty and versatile acting performances. She is even the face of many international brands. On Tuesday, she took to her official social media handle to share snippets of her evening spent at Bvlgari’s high-profile event in Sicily, Italy. She joined many international celebrities for a night of luxury and fashion on Monday evening.
Fans couldn’t contain their excitement as she shared snippets of the evening, complete with stunning outfits, scenic views, and delicious, indulgent Italian cuisine. As netizens couldn’t stop gushing about her post, a section of the internet noticed an unexpected error by the international brand, which caused a wave of ire. In one of the photos shared by PeeCee, she shared a close-up shot of the dinner at the event, including her misspelled name on her place card. The card read, “Pryianka Chopra Jonas,” instead of her correct spelling.
Many took to the comment section of the post to make her aware of the mistake and call out the luxury brand. One wrote, “I find it racist and offensive when people cannot be bothered to check the spelling of an individual’s name. It’s just sad and I’ve experienced it countless times.” Another wrote, “Looking beautiful as always Priyanka … but I noticed that they hv misspelt u name @ d table.” One commented, “Why ur spelling mistake is wrong.” Another commented, “The spelling of Priyanka ? Anybody noticed?” One wrote, “They spell your name wrong on the card . I hope you pointed that out to them.”
It is to be noted that the Heads Of State actress is yet to react to the uproar.
