xXx star Deepika Padukone mix-ups SLAMMED by Priyanka Chopra: ‘It’s ignorance’
DEEPIKA PADUKONE has been mistaken for Priyanka Chopra on more than one occasion, and now the latter has spoken about the “ignorance” over the mix-ups.
Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra are unfairly confused
The Western media in particular has often confused Padukone - who shot to Hollywood fame in xXx: Return of Xander Cage - for Chopra, who is about to appear in the new Baywatch.
Speaking to BollywoodLife, Chopra said the muddles aren’t “right”.
"I did see that and you know that’s just ignorance and it’s not right,” she declared.
“I guess I’m the most popular brown face that everyone has known. Every brown girl does not look the same.

Priyanka Chopra is more established in the USA
That’s just ignorance and it’s not right
“Don’t mistake it. Let’s try and tell us apart. That was not right and it’s not fair.”
She added: “[Deepika]’s a massive star from India."
One video in particular went viral, showing Padukone being called “Priyanka” as she arrived at a US airport.
She is now filming biopic Padmavati, although fans are clamouring for her to make more movies in Tinseltown.

The two are firm pals
Padmavati filming has been eventful, to the say the least - not only was the set targeted by vandals, Padukone also had to delay filming when she reportedly injured her neck.
xXx: Return of Xander Cage was a resounding success worldwide, although there is no news just yet on whether there will be a fourth movie.
Vin Diesel, Ruby Rose and Nina Dobrev also starred in the blockbuster.
