Darpan News Desk Darpan, 25 Apr, 2014 03:47 PM

Actress Priyanka Chopra is one of the stars who couldn’t make it to the polling booth as she was busy with her prior work commitments.

“So unfortunate when scheduling keeps you away from some of the most important things. Wish I could have been in India to exercise my most basic... to vote as a citizen. Kudos to all who did,” she tweeted Thursday when Mumbai went to poll.

She is currently in Tampa Bay, Florida in US for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards. The “Krrish 3” star will also enthrall her fans in Las Vegas soon.
