Deepika took to Twitter on Saturday to share a video in which Bisping is struggling to pronounce the Bajirao Mastani actors’ name.

In the 14-second video, Deepika is asking Bisping to spell her name. Bisping replied: “I’m looking for Deepika Tapukone,” with a very stereotypical Indian accent. But Deepika doesn’t seem to mind because she’s laughing in the background.
