Priyanka Chopra may be one of the biggest actresses in the world, but in her heart, she will always be ‘daddy’s little girl’. Over the years, the 43-year-old has expressed her admiration, respect and close connection with her father.
To commemorate his important memories, she inspired herself to tattoo him on her hand. The actress has been emotional towards her father, mentioning him at every stage and honoring him in interviews. Being vocal about his teachings, she often took his words as a guiding light and set out to achieve her goals. Let’s take a look at the times when Priyanka Chopra spoke about her father.
When Priyanka Chopra said her father would have chosen Nick Jonas she has
Priyanka Chopra tied the knot with Nick Jonas, the famous singer from the Jonas Brothers.
While the singer has also sculpted his songs and art during the band’s hiatus, he has also worked in films, including the “Jumanji” franchise, the “Camp Rock” franchise, “Midway,” “Goat,” and many more. After being married for nearly a decade, the couple continues to shine on the internet, sharing an innate bond.
They also have a 4-year-old daughter, Malti Marie Chopra. “Nick is exactly the kind of person my father would have chosen for me if he had a choice,” she said during her interview with Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals, before adding: “My father’s first love was music.
He loved music. He loved singing to her. He loved listening to her. He loved admiring the art behind it. She continued, “More than anything else, Nick is a truly wise soul, a wise person,” noting that the singer is a prodigy in his profession. “And I think he wanted someone like that for me, because that’s not me,” she said.
When Priyanka Chopra talked about her feeling of her father’s absence
In all of Priyanka Chopra’s films, there is one film that stands out as poignant, enlightening and selfless and that is The Sky Is Pink.
“I was going to get married during this movie and I missed my father so much at that time,” she told Vogue, referring to the film. “I missed his presence so much, knowing that my mother was going to do it alone, when my father was all he wanted and he kept saying ‘Main suit kab silwaau, main suit kab silwaau.’”
It was very prevalent in my mind at the time, and that definitely helped me heal.
Filming the film helped her deal with emotions that she had never been able to face before.
“I don’t think I knew how to deal with all the emotions I was feeling under Shonali’s tutelage [Bose]I was playing Aditi and I realized that death is the most natural thing that we know will happen to each of us. “Instead of mourning the person you lost, you celebrate the life you lived,” she said of the time she was reflecting.
When Priyanka Chopra talked about how her father told her to be fierce
Priyanka Chopra claimed that all girls should be fierce during an interview with India Today.
“It’s very important for us to find strength, to find our voice very early on. It’s important for us to be surrounded by trust,” she said. Speaking about how the mindset was formed, she revealed that it was encouraged in her home. “My dad always told me to be the baddest in the room, and don’t be afraid if someone tells you you’re too bad, because that’s what happens to girls,” she said.
Criticizing society for their derogatory remarks when any woman tries to be fierce, she continued: “We’re told we’re too stubborn, too ambitious, too fierce, too smart, but men are called ‘what a boss.’
When Priyanka Chopra talked about her father being her biggest fan
Priyanka Chopra honored her father with a tattoo two months before his death. During the interview with Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show,” she said, “I was very close to my dad. He was my greatest champion, my biggest cheerleader, like the loudest guy in the room. You know if I won an award he’d be like, ‘Ah!'”
“He was so passionate about everything I did. And when he died, it was quiet in that corner, you know.”
In that corner of joy. Even though I had a very supportive family, they weren’t as rambunctious as him,” She stated before mentioning that she lied to him about the tattoo. Priyanka Chopra said, “I lied to him and told him I needed to write this down because I wanted it for my album artwork. But he hand-wrote it and it’s my first tattoo.” Priyanka’s father, Ashok Chopra, was a doctor and surgeon who served in the Indian Army Medical Corps, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He passed away in January 2013 after battling cancer for several years.
