Priyanka Chopra arrives in Delhi, tells paps ‘won’t remove mask’

Actor Priyanka Chopra Jonas returned to India after three years in the US earlier this week. Now, she has flown to New Delhi for a work commitment. The actor was photographed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, where she was accompanied by members of her team. She refused to remove her mask even as the paparazzi made repeated requests.

New Delhi is experiencing concerning levels of air pollution with the average AQI hovering in the ‘severe’ and ‘very poor’ range. Priyanka is in India to launch her haircare line.

In a paparazzi video, the actor is seen leaving the Delhi airport, surrounded by fans and photographers. As Priyanka exited the terminal building, the photographers’ requests to remove her mask increased, and she said, “Mask nahi hatega (I will not remove my mask).” After Priyanka’s stern comment, no further requests were heard coming her way. The actor eventually sat in her car and left the airport.

The actor has been sharing regular social media updates for her fans during her visit to India. From gorging on Indian food to going to her favourite spots in Mumbai, Priyanka is keeping her fans in loop of her activities.
