Priyanka glad to be back after being stranded

Priyanka Chopra is glad to be back home, especially after she was forced to spend a harrowing night at Delhi airport because her flight could not land here.
Priyanka was shooting with Hrithik Roshan in Malaysia for "Krissh" and had got two days off. Both rushed back to India only to be stranded midair after their plane could not land because a grounded Sahara plane was blocking the runway at Mumbai airport on Oct 9 evening.
Recalling the incident Priyanka shudders, "It was a nightmare. Here I was in Mumbai for just two days with a million appointments and story sessions lined up. The last thing I could afford was to be hovering over Mumbai for nearly an hour. Then suddenly we were told that the flight couldn't land. So we were flown off to Delhi.
"Can you imagine? We had to spend nearly the whole night in Delhi airport and then catch an early morning flight back to Mumbai. I hope I never have to go through something like this again.
Fortunately Duggu (Hrithik) and his dad were with me. They looked after me so well. Otherwise can you imagine being stranded in Delhi airport on my own?"
In fact that's exactly what would've happened as per the original plan.
"Duggu wasn't supposed to come back with me. He decided to give wife Suzanne a surprise. Thank god for his last-minute decision to come back. I don't know what I'd have done otherwise," Priyanka said while recounting her experience to IANS.
