She then said that it made her sad to give up the audition as she wanted to work with the director.

“I recalled watching one of Priyanka Chopra’s videos where she was talking about having to attend two different functions in India and abroad around the same time. She attended both the functions after changing five flights, sleeping during the flight and prepping for the function on the flight.

So wish you a very happy birthday Priyanka,” Neena Gupta added.
