Priyanka Chopra didn’t want to become an actress
In a candid interview, Madhu Chopra, mother of global icon Priyanka Chopra, sheds light on her daughter’s journey into the world of acting, revealing surprising insights into Priyanka’s initial reluctance and eventual embrace of her craft.
Contrary to popular belief, Madhu Chopra clarifies that neither she nor her husband ever dissuaded Priyanka from pursuing acting. In fact, it was Priyanka herself who initially expressed hesitance towards a career in the limelight. Madhu recalls a poignant moment when Priyanka, faced with an offer for a South Indian film alongside the renowned actor Vijay, was overcome with tears, confessing her reluctance to step into the world of acting.
However, despite her reservations, Priyanka embarked on her acting journey, buoyed by the support of a compassionate filming team. As she delved deeper into her roles, Priyanka’s apprehension gradually gave way to a newfound passion for her craft. Madhu fondly remembers the transformation, highlighting her daughter’s colleagues’ unwavering support and kindness on set.
In particular, Madhu Chopra reserves special praise for Vijay Thalapathy, whom she describes as the epitome of a gentleman. His camaraderie and professionalism were pivotal in Priyanka’s journey, instilling confidence and camaraderie on set.
Dance, however, presented a different challenge for Priyanka. While she showed promise, Madhu acknowledges that she initially struggled to find her footing. With Prabhu Deva’s brother as her choreographer, Priyanka faced the daunting task of mastering complex routines under his strict yet nurturing guidance. Despite the initial hurdles, Priyanka’s perseverance and dedication eventually paid off, earning her accolades for her performances on the dance floor.
Priyanka’s journey stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and the transformative potential of pursuing one’s passions. And behind every successful woman, lies a supportive family, cheering her on every step of the way.
