Actress Priyanka Chopra has at all times been candid about her admiration for her parents. In a 2021 interview with Oprah on Super Soul Sunday, the actress opened up about how her parents' affect on her life helped to strengthen her self-confidence.

The Indian attractiveness is also world-renowned as of late, but she has never forgotten the ones who stood by means of her when she was once starting out.

The tone her parents set for her obviously influenced her high-profile relationship with Nick Jonas, whom she married in 2018. Now, the happy wedding ceremony pair are parents to Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, and in an interview with Femina, the actress shared that she would sacrifice the entirety for her daughter, similar to her parents did for her.

During the interview, the actress recalled the sacrifice that her parents made to offer her a better life.

"At that time, I took it all completely for granted. I was like, of course, it’s your parents’ job to do that. My career matters. And I didn’t even think about it until I was writing my book," she shared. "And then it dawned on me like now I’m in my 40s. And that, if I were asked to give up my career and just move countries, I would do it without question for my daughter."

When Priyanka gained the Miss India 2000 identify at 17 years outdated, her parents — Ashok Chopra and Madhu Chopra— have been each physicians in the Indian Army and determined to give up their newly opened health facility in Bareilly, probably the most greatest metropolises in Western Uttar Pradesh, India to fortify her budding career.

"It is, still, a huge sacrifice. And we are so blessed to have parents who did that. But, there are families under societal pressures that don’t necessarily know that they can let their daughters have aspirations," Priyanka told Femina. "So, I think that the one thing that we need to do is create a dialogue around parenting, around raising our sons in a way in which there is respect for women, creating opportunities in society where women are in positions of power. Not just getting jobs, but actually being decision-makers. I think that’s what’s going to change it for us."

This isn't the first time the Love Again actress is speaking up in admiration in regards to the example that her parents set for her. On Memorial Day 2020, she shared a photograph of her parents — Ashok and Madhu —and recommended them, and other military households, for their selfless carrier.

In the post, she wrote: "Both my parents served in the Indian Army... Maybe that's why I feel such a kinship with military families all over the world. Today let's think of all the fallen heroes that have given their lives in service to protect our freedom. Memorial Day."

Although Ashok unfortunately passed on to the great beyond in 2013 after combating cancer, Priyanka continuously fondly recollects him in several of her social media posts.

"We're connected by heartstrings to infinity," Priyanka wrote on Instagram in 2020. "Miss you dad, every single day!"

With the stellar example that Ashok and Madhu set for their daughter, it's no marvel that she is the loving, doting mum or dad she is to her daughter, the cute Malti! We can not wait to see this cutie develop up sooner than our very eyes and take over the sector!
