No one can miss the Oscars extravaganza; from adolescents to the elderly alike. We wait in sheer anticipation all the year round just to catch The Academy Awards preferably live on Television. It has evolved to be a sort of a tradition. Celebrities also wait to attend the Oscars flashing their grand apparels on the red carpet. But why did PeeCee miss this grand event this year? Here’s why

This morning she took to her Instagram story to explain why has she not been able to attend the Oscars. She called in sick this morning and wished all her friends good luck! Reportedly she has also skipped 71st British Academy Film Awards and Golden Globes 2018. We hope she gets well soon.

Priyanka Chopra has become a favorite and a common household name in Hollywood too. The story of a girl going out to conquer the world is not new. In so many ways Priyanka Chopra parallels her character in Fashion except that she is only rising and growing bigger and better with every step she takes. She is not just charming but also self-assured which has paved her the way to not just Bollywood but Hollywood superstardom. With the success of Quantico, she is now famous not just at home but her fame is now global. And we cannot be more proud. The actress thrives in multitasking- she can act, sing and dance. Recently PeeCee was seen on the cover of Elle Magazine with her immensely sassy pet Diana

The act of missing out on Oscars isn’t relatively new. Last year, Natalie Portman who was nominated for her role in Jackie disappointed so many people who were eagerly waiting to see the actress and her baby bump. Yes, Natalie was pregnant with her second child with husband Benjamin Millepied, which is why she decided to cancel on the Oscars. Considering her situation, it was surely a valid reason to bail out.

In 2016 Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee took to abandoning the ceremony altogether. They expressed sheer opposition to the all-white nominations’ list for the second consecutive year. Will Smith was remotely considered as a contender for the role he played in Concussion but he wasn’t nominated. As a result of which Pinkett refused to even watch it on Television.
There is always someone or the other who misses out on the Oscars but this year we were all a little disappointed with Priyanka Chopra’s absence. The Baywatch star has won so many hearts. Well, we shall wait for the next one eagerly and hope she makes it to that one!
