The reason? During a segment on the show\u00a0Good Morning Britain<\/em>, Andi mispronounced Priyanka’s name. In March, the anchor went to Madame Tussauds<\/a> to talk about various stars who are honoured with their respective statues at the wax museum. While reporting to studio anchors Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins, Andi, who was standing next to Priyanka’s statue was asked, \u201cWho is that next to you? Who is that supposed to be?\u201d To this, he replied, \u201cOh, this is Chia Chianca Chop Free?\u201d On Wednesday, a fan page shared the throwback video on Instagram.\u00a0<\/p>\n Naturally, Priyanka Chopra<\/a>‘s fans expressed their outrage in the comment section. A user wrote, \u201cIs a huge disrespect not only for the pronunciation because anyone can have a mistake, but here was not a mistake, is doing it on purpose.\u201d Another fan added, \u201cNah the amount of preparation people have before going live on TV is insane so I have no idea\u00a0on\u00a0how he missed this\u2026\u201d Someone else stated, \u201cSomeone needs to tell Andy Peters at least Priyanka Chopra has earned her place in Madame Tussaud’s because he hasn’t.\u201d A person asked, \u201cShe is Priyanka the world knows her who are you?\u201d A comment read, \u201cUsed to like Andy – not anymore! That was\u00a0really\u00a0rude and it’s not that hard to say her name at all!\u201d A fan wrote, \u201cImagine being so out of touch? Just stand beside a statue of someone you know? Disrespectful.\u201d Many simply exclaimed, \u201cDisrespectful!\u201d Several people viewed this as an act of racism and posted comments such as, \u201cA brown Indian girl doing extremely well is not easy to digest for such\u00a0low life\u00a0Westerners.\u201d<\/p>\n In case you have not already watched the viral video, check it out below:<\/p>\n While users continue to debate whether Andi Peters’ mispronunciation of Priyanka Chopra’s name has racial undertones, the actress has previously spoken about facing racism. This occurred when the NFL Network received racist feedback for using her song\u00a0In My City\u00a0<\/em>in the Thursday Night Football theme. Speaking to\u00a0CNN anchor Chris Wallace<\/a>, Priyanka said, \u201cNFL Network got a lot of tweets and stuff. Or, you know, things\u00a0saying, \u2018Who’s she? Who’s this person? And why should she be on American TV’ and like, \u2018football should be an American person,’ it was just like, very\u00a0confusing,\u00a0because I’m, I was just an artist with a song that they liked.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt hits you every time. It hits you. All of it hits, criticism, the fact\u00a0that,\u00a0you know, my job requires me to be dissected, and you know, microscopely. Everything I say, my home, my family, everything is looked at. But that’s the nature of the beast. And I’ve done it for 23 years now. What I’m not expecting is nature to change. You’ve got to start protecting yourself. And I started doing that many years ago. So yes, of course, it was hurtful. But I’m someone who does wear blinders. I’m not\u2026and I believe in, you know, letting my work speak for itself. And the best shut down to people like that, who said that I didn’t belong is to belong. And today, I have, you know, the number one series in the world on the show. And I’m sitting here talking to Chris Wallace, so who won?\u201d Priyanka Chopra added.<\/p>\n On the work front, Priyanka Chopra will soon be seen in Ilya Naishuller’s\u00a0Heads of State<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
