Priyanka Chopra Jonas shared a great bond with her late father Ashok Chopra. She also has a tattoo on her arm that reads, “Daddy’s lil girl.” The actress lost him in 2013 to cancer. Recently, in an interview, her mother Madhu Chopra revealed that she went to great lengths to celebrate her first birthday after Mr. Chopra passed away. The actress threw a birthday party for her mother, six days after him passing, to cheer up Madhu.
She said, “He passed away on June 10 and my birthday is on June 16. I was turning 60 and they had planned a big party for me. The whole family was already there due to his illness. After his passing, we were grieving, but Priyanka insisted that we go ahead with the party and asked everyone to stay. She said, ‘That’s what dad would have wanted.”
Madhu Chopra further shared that Priyanka requested her Dostana co-star John Abraham to come wrapped as a birthday gift. She continued, “They had requested John to come at midnight, wrapped like a birthday present. Imagine that! Priyanka said, ‘Mom has to have her moment.’ It was such a fun party with a DJ and music. But the rest of the family sat there gloomily, saying, ‘Look at her! She’s dancing! Does she not grieve for her husband?’ Meanwhile, I was thinking, ‘My daughter arranged all this; my kids put in so much effort. They’re all suffering and grieving, but this is how she is honouring her dad.’ Priyanka even said, ‘I am honouring his wish and you better fall in line with it.’ That’s the person she is.”
Priyanka, in her memoir Unfinished, spoke about the times she spent in various places and how she got the right values being the army man’s daughter.
Meanwhile, on the work front. Priyanka Chopra Jonas was recently in Hyderabad to shoot for SS Rajamouli’s next film with Mahesh Babu. The details of the project are under wraps currently.
