Now, in an interview with SpotBoye, her mother, Dr Madhu Chopra has talked about why her husband had put those restrictions on Priyanka. “You see she was 15/16 and had returned from the US. My husband simply didn’t approve of the glamorous western wear that she had started donning. You see, we were in Rai Barelli then,” she said. Madhu added that soon after her return, Priyanka started opting for more modest outfits. “And trust me, ek din bolne ke baad, she came to her Indian wear. She never hurt us. She is a very intelligent girl,” she said.

In her interview with Tatler magazine, Priyanka talked about going to US for a few years and how her father was confused when she returned to India as an ‘almost woman’ at 16. “I’d left as a 12-year-old flat-chested, curly-haired kid and I came back as a 16-year-old almost-woman.
