However, during that interview, she made a blunder related to the Indian film industry that got people mocking and criticizing her.
Dax went on to talk about the Oscar-winning Indian film ‘RRR’ and attributed it to being a Bollywood movie. But, Priyanka was quick to correct him. However, while rectifying him, she made another mistake that got desis face-palming. She said to Dax that it was a Tamil movie.
For those of you who don’t get the error she made, the movie ‘RRR’ is actually a Telugu-language epic action drama film directed by S. S. Rajamouli.

Of course. For North Indians, anything south of the Vindhyas is Tamil or Madras or Madrasi. Not to forget the staple idli, dosa, vada. As if other dishes don’t exist🙄
