Actor Priyanka Chopra recently talked about the time when she was excelling in her career and juggling her family and work amid her busy schedule. Talking to Tiffany Reid for the Marshalls Good Stuff Social event, Priyanka Chopra said there is pressure on young people to have everything figured out. She added that she at times would forget to call or wish her mother birthdays. But things changed after her father’s health scare
The Citadel actor revealed that she realized the importance of time after her father fell ill. Priyanka’s father Ashok Chopra died in 2013 after he was diagnosed with cancer. She said, “I don’t remember how many of my mother’s birthdays I have forgotten or I might have missed. How many times I forgot to call her in my 20s? or how many times like I miss Diwali because I am working in Europe and they don’t have Diwali here so it’s fine. I just skipped and missed and didn’t think it was okay till I did
Till my dad died and I didn’t have another Diwali to be with him. When he got sick, it was a really big… I think that was a very momentous moment for me where I realized that life is short and we worry about so many trivial things when there are so many big things for us to worry about. I think focusing on that brings you to the ground,” she also added.
