Priyanka Chopra to make a quick visit to receive Padma award

Priyanka Chopra has made India proud with the accolades she has been collecting in the world of entertainment. The Government of India has conferred the prestigious Padma Shri to the ‘Mary Kom’ actress. PeeCee, who is at present busy with her American television series ‘Quantico’, will be taking a short break and come to the country to collect the prestigious honour.

Sources said, “Priyanka just wrapped up the script reading session of her show’s second season. She is required to shoot a few more final episodes of first season. However, getting the kind of honour and recognition that a Padma Shri award brings with it, is huge. So she decided to take some time out from her schedule to receive it. She will fly to Delhi and back. She just has about 48 hours to spare so she might not be able to come to Mumbai at all. She has to be back in US to begin work on the second season as well as her film ‘Baywatch’.”

Sources added, “Priyanka, who has been conferred the Dadasaheb Phalke award, will not be able to extend her break to collect it. It is a big honour too, but it would be impossible for her to be able to stay back and collect both the awards. The Phalke award will be only given on April 24, Dadasaheb Phalke’s birth anniversary. PC cannot extend her holiday till then. Being the workaholic that she is, we hear that the two days she spends in Delhi are going to be rather hectic too, with some brand commitment that she has to complete apart from attending the award ceremony.”

The small town girl has truly made it to the top all thank to her grit and determination. We are truly proud of PeeCee’s achievements.
