The anchors of the show Good Morning Adil Ray and Charlotte Hawkins were in the studio where Andi was with them from Madame Tussauds. The clip has been shared by a fan on Instagram. In the clip Andi has been seen struggling to pronounce Priyanka’s name and says it in a incorrect way. He calls her ‘Chiana Chop Free’. Adil then by correcting him says, “Honestly, Andi. If you’re going to stand next to somebody at least work out what their name is. That’s Priyanka Chopra, the Indian Bollywood actress who is now a massive star in America.” As per the Daily Star, Andi claimed that he already knew who she is and she is married to ‘that one from the Jonas Brothers’.
Fans wasn’t happy with Andi’s such gesture. An Instagram page has shared the clip and wrote, ‘This was so unacceptable’. A fan commented, “’chianka chop free’ is absolute madness.” One miffed fan wrote, “Someone needs to tell Andy Peters at least Priyanka Chopra has earned her place in Madame Tussaud’s because he hasn’t.” One thought it wasn’t hard to pronounce Priyanka’s name right, writing, “I used to like Andy – not anymore! That was really rude and it’s not that hard to say her name at all!” Some fans pointed out that it looked ‘rehearsed’ and that they were being ‘racist’ on purpose, with one writing, “This seems like they were deliberately doing this…..looks so staged and reheresed. MSM racsim at it’s finest.”

Priyanka has wrapped up her shooting of the film and shared it through an Instagram post. She wrote, “This movie was a breeze because the cast and crew came prepared with their A game, everyday. It’s been an honour to work with some legends in our business on this one.”
