Social media star Julia Chafe clears the air if she dissed Priyanka Chopra at the Ambani wedding
US influencer Julia Chafe, who recently attended Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s lavish wedding in Mumbai, is facing a PR nightmare. The social media star accidentally shaded actor Priyanka Chopra in a video that went viral, and the internet hasn’t been kind. Chafe took to Instagram to admit her blunder, and said that the clip of her dissing Priyanka has accumulated a staggering 50 million views. In the original video, shared during the wedding festivities, Chafe is seen abruptly interrupting Priyanka and changing the topic to Nick Jonas. “Kindly excuse me while I pass away! #PriyankaChopra was possibly the nicest celebrity I’ve ever met. And although I already found her to be the world’s most beautiful woman, in person she literally had a glowing aura around her. Magnificent!!!” she had captioned the post.
After the video garnered attention on social media, netizens started criticising Chafe for not “allowing Priyanka to speak.” “You should have allowed Priyanka to speak. I wanted to know which of your stuff she had seen. But you shifted your attention to Nick lol,” read comment below her video. Now, an apologetic Chafe is in damage control mode. “I think I dissed Priyanka Chopra at Anant Ambani’s wedding. And I can not stop thinking about it? The video of me dissing has 50 million views,” she confessed in a recent Instagram post, adding, “She was trying to tell me more and I cut her off. It wasn’t meant to be diss. Once Priyanka told me she knows me. My brain was just like one red alert. And the red alert was just like you cannot handle this anymore. Change the subject. My brain was exploding.”
The influencer blamed her overzealous fan girl moment for the awkward encounter. “As a super fan or Priyanka Chopra, when she told me she knows me, it was just too much for me to handle. Changing the subject to talk to Nick was more like a primal instinct. But in doing that, I dissed one of my favourite celebrities of all time,” she explained.
Chafe apologised profusely to the Barfi! star. “Priyanka, if you are seeing this, I never meant to be rude to you. I love you dearly and just know that I love you. And I’m sorry,” she pleaded.
Meanwhile, Chafe made the most of her visit to India. She’s documented every glittering detail of the Ambani wedding, from the jaw-dropping jewels to star-studded encounters. A highlight was meeting the matriarch, Nita Ambani. “Had the true honour of meeting Mrs NitaAmbani – the epitome of elegance, generosity and regality. She spoke to me with the kindness and care that my own family speaks to me with- going out of her way to make sure Bruno and I were happy and comfortable,” Chafe gushed on Instagram.
The influencer also indulged her passion for gemstones, breaking down the extravagant jewellery worn by the Ambani family and their celebrity guests. From Nita Ambani’s “SUV sized” diamonds to Kim Kardashian‘s emerald-laden ensemble, Chafe has become the go-to source for wedding bling. In another video posted on her Instagram handle, @jewelswithjules, Priyanka was seen talking about her Bvlgari jewellery.
