Priyanka Chopra calls herself daddy’s pet
Taking a walk down the memory lane, actress Priyanka Chopra who lost her father to cancer remembers how she has always been her daddy’s girl.
“I do not remember my first flight, but I do remember an interesting flight I took to Ladhak where my dad was posted. I was just eight years old; my brother was just a newborn baby so mom and he could not accompany me. I being dad’s ‘Chamchi’ (pet) wanted to fly to him. I travelled in an army cargo vehicle, which had no seats at all. But that flight is a memorable, frightening and a delightful memory which I shall always cherish,” says the self confessed daddy’s pet.
Turning nostalgic she gives credit to her dad for encouraging her singing potential and adds, “Earlier I would just close the lights and sing songs. Vishal Shekhar has made me sing in ‘Bluffmaster!’ and that video is with him. He always threatens me to release it. I remember one fine day my dad forced me to start singing. I would always feel, I may not be at par with the best. But thanks to my dad who made me realise my singing potentials. Finally, I have reached a point where I comfortably can lend my voice to any song.”
“Having played the seductress in ‘Aitraaz’, I was very much carried away with the character. I would go home and enact in the same manner. And my dad would like say, “What is this?” Also, mom would ask me to behave normally. Since then it has been quite some time for me here. I am an emotional person but I do not carry forward anything from my films once I am done with it,” says the actress who has come a long way and not just made her mark nationally but internationally as well.
