Mumbai: Actress Priyanka Chopra has finally lost her father Ashok Chopra who died due to cancer in Mumbai’s Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital today. Mr. Chopra had long been suffering from cancer and was admitted to hospital just days ago in critical condition. Mr. Chopra was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005, when Priyanka was working on Bluffmaster. He had been going to hospital regularly for his check up. Earlier this year, he and wife Madhu Chopra accompanied Priyanka to the TOIFA Awards held in Vancouver, Canada. Priyanka has reportedly put her projects on hold, including the biopic of boxer Mary Kom. Priyanka Chopra was famously very close to her father and often paid him tribute in interviews. She wore her heart on her sleeve with a tattoo on her wrist that read “Daddy’s Li’l Girl,” a phrase she also used to describe herself on her Twitter account.
She also spoke about her father when she began her second career as a singer, calling it her “dad’s dream.” When her first single In My City was released, Priyanka said, “My dad was not all that happy when I became an actor and won national awards, like he is today.”
