Arjun Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha have been promoting their upcoming film Tevar in various cities and were supposed to be part of a fashion event in Bengaluru on Sunday evening. However, they were forced to bow out of it as their flight was delayed by almost four hours.

A source says, “As per the promotional plans, they had to make an appearance as showstoppers for the show in that city. But, they could not make it due to flight delay issues.” When the organisers learnt about the uncertainty of the actors’ landing in Bengaluru, they apparently decided to make a few changes in the catwalk choreography as they could not find their replacement on such a short notice.

A crew member of Tevar says, “Arjun and Sonakshi had decided to take an afternoon flight which was delayed by two hours. Later, they were informed that it would not take off before 7. It was impossible on their part to reach the show on time. Moreover, they had to fly down to Lucknow on Monday. So, they had to cancel their visit and apologised to the organisers for the same.”

The actors took to social media to express apology. Arjun wrote, “Hey Bangalore feeling gutted we couldn’t come• show u our Tevar... flight issues... ( sic)” while Sonakshi posted, “Was supp to b on the 3:15 flt to Bengaluru, which got pushed to 5:45 and then 7 so we missed our date with u :( but will see u soon B’lore (sic).”
