\"'Priyanka Priyanka Chopra<\/a> achieved stardom quite early on in her career after she became Miss World at the age of 18. Soon, she started getting movie offers, and her mother, Madhu Chopra<\/a>, was constantly by her side while she dealt with all of it. Her mother had earlier revealed that since she was academically inclined, she was hesitant to enter movies and even shed tears while signing the contract for her debut film ‘Thamizhan’ opposite Vijay. In an old interview, Priyanka’s mother had once spoken about it. To support her daughter\u2019s early career, Madhu Chopra began travelling extensively with Priyanka. In the process, the family dynamic shifted, and Madhu acknowledged that her son, Siddharth Chopra, was deeply affected. With Priyanka on the road and her husband, Dr Ashok Chopra<\/a>, occupied with his medical practice, Siddharth was often left to fend for himself and, as Madhu put it, \u201cjust grew up on his own.\u201d <\/p>\n

Priyanka Chopra Says Her Six Back-to-Back Flops Became the Turning Point of Her Global Rise<\/p>\n

Reflecting on this phase, Madhu admitted that she carried regret over how little parental presence Siddharth had during his formative years. Speaking on the Something Bigger Show once, she had said, \u201cSiddharth was the collateral damage to all of Priyanka\u2019s success, because their dad (Dr Ashok Chopra) was working, I was with Priyanka, he just grew up on his own, and he was a teenager at that time. He, I think, was collateral damage for me.\u201d She became emotional while recalling those years and added, \u201cWhen I think about it, these are certain things that you had to deal with.\u201dIn another appearance, this time on Dr Stuti Khare Shukla\u2019s YouTube channel, Madhu spoke about the many responsibilities she juggled while raising Priyanka and Siddharth, managing the former’s early career, running her medical practice, and taking care of the household. Despite the pressures, she emphasised the importance she placed on meaningful time with her children. \u201cWhen I was with them, it was 100 percent children\u2019s time. That was really good. I think that\u2019s how they could imbibe the work ethics also, that you have to work hard if you want to achieve something, and also give time to yourself, your family, and your life,\u201d she said.Madhu also highlighted the differences between her two children while discussing their approach to work and routine. She revealed that Priyanka inherited her disciplined mindset. \u201cI am an early riser. I wake up at 5:30 am, and I start my day. My son is not such an early riser, but still, he is up by 8:30 am. But Priyanka, depending on the kind of work she is doing, she will be up at 4 also if needed,\u201d she shared. Priyanka is now married to Nick Jonas and has largely spent time away from India. She’s now set to make her comeback to Indian cinema with SS Rajamouli’s ‘Varanasi’, along with Mahesh Babu. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Priyanka Chopra achieved stardom quite early on in her career after she became Miss World at the age…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":380075,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[144335,6491,144332,144331,96,144333,99801,144334,23257,144330,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-380074","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-ashok-chopra","9":"tag-celebrities","10":"tag-celebrity-family-dynamics","11":"tag-collateral-damage","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-family-relationships-in-celebrity-life","14":"tag-madhu-chopra","15":"tag-parenting-challenges","16":"tag-priyanka-chopra","17":"tag-siddharth-chopra","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=380074"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/380074\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/380075"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=380074"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=380074"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=380074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
