The West seems to be mistaking the identities of Indian actors, something they have been religiously doing for years. More recently, a video surfaced on the internet showing local Los Angeles media confusing Deepika Padukone with Priyanka Chopra.
'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' actress Padukone, faced the paparazzi outside LA Airport, most of whom tried to gain her attention by calling out "Hello Priyanka". Dippy, however, refrained from responding to any one them. This isn't the first time the actress has been mistaken to be Deepika. Back during the promotions of Vin Diesel's 'xXx', the same YouTube channel had posted a video of her, with the title citing Priyanka's name. While they did realise their mistake soon and corrected it, the video description still identified her as Priyanka.
Another incident involved her during a dinner 'date' with tennis star Novak Djokovic in LA. While a leading tabloid cited the sportsman, they mentioned Deepika as his "female companion". This incident occurred at a time when she was shooting for Diesel's action film and was visibly making an impact in Hollywood.
