Priyanka Chopra recalls a scary cab ride when she was a teenager
In a recent interview with ANI, Priyanka recalled a scary cab ride when she was returning to a hotel in Delhi with her mom, Madhu Chopra. The shocking incident took place years ago when PeeCee was around 11 years old. What seemed like a routine cab ride soon turned dramatic when the driver took an unfamiliar route that Madhu was not aware of. When the cab driver was asked why he took the turn, he reportedly said that he was taking a shortcut. However, Priyanka’s mom was convinced about the whole thing. Recalling how her mom reacted at the time, Priyanka said:
“We were in a cab, and I must have been 11 years old or something. Raat mein hum Delhi ke kisi hotel mein jaa rahe the. All I saw was my mother holding the throat of the driver. She said, ‘Drive back to the main road. I’m here with my teenage daughter.'”
