Deepika Padukone has finally revealed the reason why she and Priyanka Chopra didn't shake a leg together at the 2016 IIFA awards.
In a recent interview with a leading daily DNA, Deepika said, "Priyanka is a fabulous performer and I did not want to spoil her performance. We might not have done the dance together at IIFA, but you can always play the song anywhere when we both are around and we will happily dance to Pinga."
Earlier, a rivalry between the two actresses was said to be the reason behind their dance being scrapped at the award ceremony.
PeeCee too maintained that there is no competition between her and the 'Piku' actress and that they are good friends like before.
After earning a successful name in Hindi cinema, both actresses are all set to make it big in Hollywood.
PeeCee would be seen in 'Baywatch' alongside actor Dwayne Johnson while Deepika would be seen in 'xXx: The Return of Xander Cage'.
