ABC’s Nightline was forced to apologize after a promo for Tuesday night’s interview with actress Priyanka Chopra mistakenly included video of a different Bollywood star and former beauty contestant, Yukta Mookhey.
The error was caught quickly and shared on social media:
Uh oh, @Nightline! That's Yukta Mookhey when she was crowned Miss World. Not @priyankachopra! pic.twitter.com/6WDFcc8LSr

As Variety notes, the Nightline the promo seemed to reinforce the very topic Chopra discusses in the interview, racial prejudice–even bullying–that she’s endured through her life. Nightline was quick to offer its “sincerest apologies” without explaining the error.
