Recently, a news report claimed that Priyanka Chopra will perform at the opening ceremony of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on April 2. Incidentally, this year, the ceremony is being organised by Red Chillies Entertainment, which is owned by Shah Rukh Khan, the co-owner of the IPL team, Kolkata Knight Riders.
But now, we have learnt that Priyanka will not even be in the country around that time. “How will she perform at the opening ceremony if she isn’t going to be in India?
