Last Thursday saw one of Bollywood's beauties genuinely breaking down in public.

The lissome Priyanka Chopra [Images] ought to be basking in the success of her hit film, Waqt: The Race Against Time, but, at the Main Aisa Hi Hoon premiere at Mumbai's Fame Malad theatres, the actress looked shattered.

Main Aisa is the home production of Harman Baweja, producer Harry Baweja's son. Priyanka and Harman (left) have been the subject of much tabloid fodder, with the actress often issuing 'we are just friends' denials.

Several versions of what made Priyanka cry are doing the rounds, but we hear the actress was in conversation with either Harman or his mother, Pammi Baweja, before Priyanka left for the washroom.

When she returned, the Miss World 2000 was visibly red-eyed.

We hope she is feeling better now.
