Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra’s name was mispronounced as ‘Chopa’ at Emmys 2017 held at Microsoft Theater on Sunday in Los Angeles, California. Twitterati was up in arms after the announcer’s goof-up!
Priyanka Chopra stepped out in a figure-hugging white custom-made Balmain mermaid creation at the 69th Primetime Emmy Awards. Priyanka, who presented an award at the ceremony, made heads turn with her full-sleeves ensemble, which was adorned with crystals and had a feather skirt train.
With her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, her lips done up in deep berry red and dramatic eye make-up, the ‘Quantico’ star exuded a fierce and powerful demeanour at the red carpet of the gala.

The ‘Baywatch’ sensation, however, was not spared from the trolling either. Twitterati poked fun at Priyanka’s outfit; from calling it a ‘poo emoji’ dress to a ‘falcon’, check out some hilarious tweets:
