The mother of Priyanka Chopra Jonas , Dr. Madhu Chopra , spoke about the actress's bumpy ride to acting fame. On the 'Something Bigger Show,' Madhu shared candidly how Priyanka had no interest in pursuing an acting career and even cried when signing her first movie contract.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas made her acting debut with the Tamil film ' Thamizhan ' in 2002, but at that time, she had other dreams too. She was bombarded with film offers after she won the prestigious beauty pageant in 2000. Madhu said, “There were a lot of people coming to sign films with her.
But, she didn’t want to, because she wanted to study. She was a brilliant and intelligent girl. Her objective was something else.
This just happened. She wanted to study science subjects, and become a criminal psychologist or an aeronautical engineer. She had all those plans in her head, but destiny had other plans.
So, the first film she signed, there were big blobs of tears on that contract.” However, once she stepped into the world of acting, she started to enjoy it. She headed back to college after her first stint but offers kept pouring in, and soon, she decided to go ahead with acting full-time and the rest is history.
Madhu also claimed that Priyanka's growing career brought them closer as a family. “I saw her grow, she started doing better. I was always there with her to help her along, be there for her, and take care of her.
I was traveling with her, it brought us closer. It helped both of us grow toget.
