Priyanka Chopra reveals what was her father’s expectations when she returned to India at 16
In an interview with The Howard Stern Show, Priyanka Chopra recalled that her father, Ashok Chopra, had sent her to America at 12. At that time, Priyanka was extremely simple. However, during her stay in America, she got accustomed to the American culture of blow drying her hair for the first time or eating fast foods and did many such things. Thus, when she returned to India, she was a completely different person than her father was expecting. Priyanka said:
“My dad was super paranoid because he sent to America a 12-year-old with braids and trying to be cool, so I got my hair blown out that was the only thing I had ever done, come back after all of these American hormones and the food. I come back a little bit more woman than my dad would have anticipated at 16.”
Priyanka recalled why her father put bars on the windows
Further, Priyanka revealed that it was one day, when she was just roaming around in the small city, she used to live in, many boys followed the actress. Not only that, one of them had also jumped into her balcony at night. That was when her daddy, Ashok put bars on the windows, and her jeans were also confiscated. Elaborating more on the rules and regulations, she added Priyanka Chopra:
“When I went back to India and I was in this small town and I was peacocking like I peacocked in my American high school I had boys follow me home. One of them jumped into my balcony at night. That’s why my dad was like, ‘F*** this, bars, all your jeans are confiscated, you are going to wear Indian suits, nothing happening. I had a driver drive me everywhere, he was freaked out. I get it but then my career happened. I feel so bad for my dad.”
Priyanka opened up about her aggressive behaviour, which she had post returning to India from America
In the same conversation, Priyanka revealed that after she returned from the US, she had become arrogant and vain. However, that incident made a huge difference in her life, and after that, Ashok even asked Priyanka to wear loose or Indian clothes. And as she didn’t had any loose clothes, she used to wear her father’s favourite shirts, tie them up, and open buttons. Priyanka recalled:
“I didn’t understand the gravity of it. I thought I was invincible. I think about it now. How did I get away with this s*** that I did? But it was this invincible thing of, ‘I can get away with anything’. But that day when somebody was outside my bedroom. He was outside my balcony and I saw him and I screamed and went to my dad. My dad came, he jumped and he went away. The next day my dad was like, ‘You need rules’. I was so arrogant and vain in those two years of my life. Especially when I came back to India. Suddenly there was this equity on me which I didn’t have in American high school where the girls were bullying me Priyanka Chopra.”
