Priyanka Chopra will not be attending the Oscars this year

Priyanka Chopra will not be attending the Oscars this year

This Bolly star is so busy she doesn't have time for the Oscars!
18 Feb, 2017

Priyanka Chopra, who stunned us at the Academy Awards last year, will be missing in action at the 2017 Oscars.

And what does she credit it to? Her busy work schedule, she tells The Hindu.

Her 16 hour work days consist of juggling between shoots of the last few episodes of American TV show Quantico, attending promotional events and working on projects in Mumbai -- all of which have taken up her time, hence the 89th Academy Awards will not be on her to-go-to list.

"I don’t have roots, I only have wings," she adds. "My passport is jammed, I must be taking 10 flights a month on an average. I board planes like others use cars."

However, she doesn't seem to mind that she's "packed with a million things to do", in fact, she enjoys it. "I am just a girl doing my job," she says.

Earlier this year, Priyanka presented the award at the Golden Globes and last year at the Emmy's and Oscar's.

Ok, then I won't watch Oscars this year since she is not attending. Anyone else not attending. Award ceremony will be so poor without her. What do we do now? This is so heartbreaking.
