Amidst speculation that Vidya Balan is in the family way, Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra has replaced her at the last minute to promote Indian cinema at the ongoing International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.
Vidya was chosen to promote Indian cinema on the IIFA multi-city promotional tour.
"Vidya cancelled her plans at the last moment. We have not been told the reason for this (cancellation) the management might now. Now we have Priyanka for this session," sources told PTI.
The IIFA awards are being held in Tampa Bay in the US from April 23 to 26.
Viday was also going to be part of IIFA Master Class Panel with Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey, which is to be held tomorrow.
But speculations are rife that she is pregnant and this is the reason behind her to opt out from IIFA award ceremony.
When asked about the same, the source says, "We don’t know anything about this."
Vidya is married to UTV giant and Walt Disney MD Siddharth Roy Kapur. She is spotted donning over sized outfits which seems is an attempt to hide the baby bump.
