Priyanka Chopra is gaining a lot of praise for her recently released memoir ‘Unfinished’, which has become one of the most selling books across the globe. In her memoir, she has shared some hidden details of her personal life which many of us were unaware of until we read the book. While promoting her memoir, Priyanka Chopra recently appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, where she spoke about her father, late Dr Ashok Chopra, who passed away in June 2013, after a five-year battle with cancer.
Priyanka said she missed her father doubling up as her cheerleader in life. She recalled that her father would get excited about her smallest joys and victories. “I miss most about him just how unabashedly proud of me he would be in the littlest things. Even if I am having dinner and my plate is clean, my dad would be excited. If I wore a dress that I liked, my dad would be excited. From the littlest thing to the biggest thing, he would be the loudest in the room. I miss the noise, the excitement he had, the joy and investment he had in my life and just how excited he used to be about everything about me,” she said.
“I do feel that he’s been instrumental in me being where I am today. He’s helped me find a sense of peace, which I never had when he was around. He always saw me as a reckless, trying to get to the new place thing and he always wanted me to have a sense of peace. That’s when I feel him around, when I feel peaceful,” she added.
