Sharing more details about the incident, Priyanka shared how choreographer Raju Khan threw his mic down and asked her to learn how to dance and then come back.

The Dil Dhadakne Do actress also spoke about how her co-star Akshay Kumar-s wife Twinkle Khanna saved her day. Twinkle Khanna, went into labour and the shoot was then cut short and they returned to India.
"Luckily, Akshay-s wife went into labour at that point so the schedule was cut short and we came back to India. I remember going to Pandit Veeru Krishnan-s class and started learning kathak.
