Padma Lakshmi is firing back at a magazine that mistook her for Priyanka Chopra.

Lakshmi, born in India, was featured in the celebrity cartoon takeover in The New Yorker, in which stars submit and share their favorite comical cartoons.

The outlet shared the article on Instagram, featuring headshots of the celebs that contributed, but tagged Chopra, an Indian actress and model, in Lakshmi's headshot.

The New Yorker has since deleted the post, but the "Top Chef" host, 49, managed to get a screenshot and shared it on Instagram.

"Thank you to the illustrious '@nydailynews' for the shoutout," she said, intentionally tagging the wrong media outlet. "I know to some we all look alike, but..."

She added the hashtags, "#desilife" and "justindianthings."

Fans were quick to comment, sharing their disdain.

Even actress Natalie Portman chimed in with a simple "Oh no."
