Priyanka Chopra made a rare confession about her late dad.
The Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, daughter of Ashok Chopra, who passed away in 2013, due to prolong battle with cancer. Chopra confessed that if her father were alive, he would have given his approval to marry her current husband, Nick Jonas.
In an interview with E! News, in the recent clip of Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meals, “Nick is exactly the kind of person my dad would have picked for me if he had a choice”.
The Quantico alum went on to share the commonalities of Nick and her late father, “My dad’s first love was music. He loved music. He loved singing it. He loved listening to it. He loved admiring the artistry behind it”.
And despite Priyanka’s belief that Nick is “a prodigy” at his talent, which her dad “would have loved,” Ashok would also have valued him.
She gushed, “More than anything, Nick is a really wise soul, a wise person, and I think that he would have wanted someone like that for me, because that ain’t me, that would have been a wish of mine, that my dad would have met my husband and my daughter”.
For those unversed, Priyanka and Nick tied the knot in 2018 and also welcomed daughter Malti, four, together. Priyanka also commented on moving to America and that having a career in the country felt “so serendipitous” as if “angels” were pushing her all the way.
“I almost felt like I had hands behind my back pushing me to move to America, to have a pop career, to suddenly be on these avenues where I landed up meeting the person who would be the father of my child.”
“It just felt so serendipitous. I had no ambition for it. It wasn’t something that I was seeking; it wasn’t on my vision board. Circumstances put me in a situation where that became my life, and I had to survive it. And when you look back at your journey, it’s like, ‘Oh, now I see the why,'” she added.
