Was Priyanka Chopra’s engagement news leaked by Ali Abbas Zafar?

By Bryan Durham - July 27, 2018

This means Salman Khan, seen here in a still from Bharat, will have to go solo

Ali Abbas Zafar is a master of words. The ‘Bharat’ director recently took to Twitter to announce Priyanka Chopra’s exit from his upcoming Salman Khan-starrer and knowingly put out a smartly worded tweet that left nothing to the imagination, in case you were ever in doubt that a Chopra-Jonas engagement was on the cards.

On Twitter, he announced that the actress was “no more a part of Bharat”. He went on to add, “the reason is very, very special”.

He didn’t stop there. He continued that “she told us in the Nick of time about her decision”. And now, you’re probably thinking that it’s a fairly inadvertent typing/autocorrect error. But couple that very, very special reason with Team Bharat wishing her “loads of love and happiness for life” and you have to wonder… was it just plain courtesy?

Yes Priyanka Chopra is no more part of @Bharat_TheFilm & and the reason is very very special , she told us in the Nick of time about her decision and we are very happy for her … Team Bharat wishes @priyankachopra loads of love & happiness for life 😊😉😍
