It is a moment of pride, says Priyanka Chopra on naming road after father

Her father died in the battle with cancer last year, and she was extremely close to him.

The actress, who even has a ‘Daddy’s Li’l Girl’ tattoo, said: “It means a lot to me. My dad was someone who has touched many hearts through his work. Today, seeing this road named after him, people ask that just because he is Priyanka Chopra’s father…is this road being named after him?’ No, it’s not that.”

“I’m here today because I’m Ashok Chopra’s daughter. This road is being named after him because his community that he worked with…his friends, his family and all of you stood up and asked for it. So thank you very much on behalf of my father today.”
