Naomi Scott told the interviewer that she was happy to have been confused with Deepika Padukone: “And I was like, ‘Yeah, it’s … it’s … I thought,’ We could be compared to people worse than Deepika “and I was like,” Well, I’m going to take this. She is quite beautiful “.”

Meanwhile, in 2017, Deepika, confused with her colleague Priyanka Chopra by foreign media and international paparazzi on several occasions, said: “It’s not just about offending me. It is all of you in this room who should be offended. It is not only ignorance, it is also racist. Two people of similar color are not the same people. So, as fellow Indian people, you should actually call them up and educate them instead of encouraging them. Ignorance is ignorance. I feel bad for them, “reported PTI. Priyanka was also confused by ABC once when they used a photo of Yukta Mookhey instead of the Quantico star. Last year, actress and television personality Padma Lakshmi called New Yorker magazine for tagging Priyanka in an article starring her.
