"When I said, 'Hi,
"And I'm like, 'Deepak...'. She's like, 'No, and Chopra is a common name.' ... I felt so embarrassed."
During her apology, O'Donnell failed to reference Chopra Jonas by name. "Nick Jonas, I apologise and to the 'Chopra wife,' I apologise, too," she said.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas later responded to O'Donnell's apology in an Instagram story.
"I have never taken myself so seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that matter," she wrote.
"But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to Google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly."
"We all deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not to be referred to as 'someone' or 'wife,' especially in a sincere apology," Chopra Jonas continued.
"If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic way, the world we raise our children in will be amazing.
"PS - As I've said before, not all Chopra's are related to the great Deepak, just as not all Smith's are related to the legendary Will Smith."
Chopra Jonas and her husband Nick recently welcomed their first child via surrogate.
