Madhu Chopra, Priyanka Chopra's mother, shared insights during an interview with Lehren about a significant period in Priyanka's life when she returned to her hometown of Bareilly after spending four years in the United States. Upon her return, Priyanka's accent and lifestyle garnered considerable 'unwanted' attention, culminating in an incident where a boy attempted to enter their home one night.

What Madhu said

In her remarks, Madhu recounted, “There was quite a commotion. When she arrived in Bareilly, the cultural standards were markedly different. Her fashion sense and pronounced accent stood out. We enrolled her in a convent school, and her father had firmly instructed that she should never go out alone. There were instances where boys would follow our car, which made us increasingly uneasy. I communicated my concerns to her father, who then suggested we consider enrolling her in an army school. Amidst all this, one day, a boy unexpectedly crossed the fence and entered our property!”

‘She was attracting unwanted attention’

Describing the aftermath, she continued, “That was frightening. The following day, we secured the entire house with substantial bars, from the boundary wall to the terrace. Not even monkeys could gain entry. She was drawing unwanted attention, and as parents, we felt compelled to be extremely protective. After being away for so long, we wanted to ensure she faced no difficulties." Madhu further mentioned that following this incident, she opted for more subdued clothing and completely revamped Priyanka's wardrobe, avoiding western attire while in Bareilly.

Priyanka made her acting debut in the Tamil film Thamizhan (2002), followed by her first Bollywood appearance in The Hero: Love Story of a Spy (2003).

Currently, Priyanka is anticipated to star in SS Rajamouli's upcoming project alongside Mahesh Babu, with an official announcement expected soon. She will also be featured in the American action-comedy Heads of State, sharing the screen with Idris Elba and John Cena.
