Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra’s performance at the IIFA fetched her many accolades but not many know about her ordeal behind the scenes. The actress was very excited and looking forward to her performance on the D-Day. But those who saw her on that day couldn’t ignore the bruises on her body and a hoarse voice because of a sore throat.
Our source says, “The actress ended up with cuts on her hands and arms while rehearsing for her performance that required her to do some stunts. But she continued practising and taking medication, as she could not back out at the last minute. Priyanka was also caught up in a hectic schedule, where she was promoting her new single before attending the ceremony. She could barely speak on the final day and was seen taking medication backstage.”
But PC is a thorough professional. “In spite of a sore throat, she ensured that she gave interviews to the media, asking them to excuse her faint voice as she couldn’t speak any louder. On stage though, seeing her energetic performance, one could hardly guess how unwell she was.” Now that the award function is over, Priyanka plans to take rest and recover before getting back to work.
