Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra who supposed to visit Bareilly today, December 24 to receive a doctorate from Bareilly International University was left heartbroken to miss out on it due to a flight delay caused by smog in Delhi.

Priyanka Chopra's statement is here, "I am heartbroken that I will not be able to attend the convocation ceremony and receive my honorary doctorate in person at the Bareilly International University today. We've been at the airport since this morning waiting for clearance from the ATC. My team had also explored all other possible options to get there but the fog has put to rest all plans for today.

I was really looking forward to going back to Bareilly... not just to receive the honorary doctorate but also to see old friends and family and just reconnect with a city that has been such an important part of my life.

I want to thank the University for being so understanding and I would like to wish every graduate all the very best as they set forth on a new journey. I will see you all again very soon."
