New York, December 31

Host Padma Lakshmi was apparently confused with actor Priyanka Chopra by a news outlet and she has called out the publication for the gaffe.

The goof-up took place over the weekend, when The New Yorker tagged a photo of Lakshmi as Chopra in an Instagram post featuring celebrities’ favourite cartoons illustrations from the magazine.

The “Top Chef” judge shared a screenshot of the error, with a caption intentionally tagging The New Yorker as The New York Daily News.

“Thank you to the illustrious ‘@nydailynews’ for the shoutout. I know to some we all look alike, but… #desilife #justindianthings,” Lakshmi wrote in the caption.

The post by The New Yorker was later deleted.

The publication is yet to respond to the mix-up. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
