SHOCKING! IIFA Could Not Afford Priyanka Chopra
Yes, this is the real reason why Priyanka Chopra was nowhere to be seen at the glitzy IIFA weekend in New York
The one name which was conspicuous by its absence from the IIFA weekend in New York was Priyanka Chopra.

Priyanka had maintained that she was flying back to Mumbai to spend her birthday with her family.
But we can now tell you that the actress was approached to host the ceremony.
Priyanka asked for a price. Well, why would she not, she is Bollywood’s best known import to Hollywood and would have been perfect for the role.
