Lakshmi got associated with New Yorker’s celebrity cartoon takeover issue. The post carrying her portrait on the official Instagram account of the magazine was tagged to Priyanka Chopra.
###
Lakshmi took a screenshot of the post and shared it on Instagram, writing: “Thank you to the illustrious @nydailynews for the shoutout. I know to some we all look alike, but… #desilife #JustIndianThings.”

The picture shows a black-and-white portrait of Lakshmi with Chopra’s Instagram account handle tagged on it. The post on the New Yorker’s account appears to have been removed.
###
Lakshmi’s post got several reactions from celebrities.
###
“Oh no,” wrote actress Natalie Portman, while one user said: “This is the equivalent of tagging Christina Aguilera in a photo of Britney Spears.”
###
In a past interview, Lakshmi expressed her happiness about Indians finding a place in the West.
###
“I am very happy to see many more Indian faces on TV and in the arts and in publishing… It was hard to be an immigrant in the 1970s and 1980s. I am lucky that I managed to somehow find a place for myself. It is not like that I had a grand plan. There was no guarantee that I would be successful,” she said.
