MUMBAI: Priyanka Chopra has become one of the biggest success stories with parallel careers in Hindi cinema and Hollywood but mother Madhu Chopra says she was briefly worried whether her daughter was going too fast.
With successful films such as “Fashion”, “Kaminey” and “Barfi” to her credit, Priyanka moved to the US to play the lead role in TV show “Quantico”, which led to other offers from Hollywood.
The actor also runs a production house Purple Pebble Pictures with her mother, with a focus on Indian regional cinema.
When asked if it was tough being a mother to Priyanka at a time when she started out in a male-dominated industry, Madhu said, “There were times when I had doubts, if this is the right way she’s going. She was moving so fast. She was on a rocket propelled move.”
Madhu said Priyanka “wonderfully” evolved as an actor and as a mother she is with her daughter every step of the way.
“I thought she’s missing out on some aspects of her life because she’s so dedicated to her career, profession and her craft. As I saw her evolve, I started enlisting. Only in the initial days I was worried. Later, I was with her in her trajectory.”
The mother daughter duo have produced the upcoming Marathi film, “Firebrand” under their banner. The film will start streaming on Netflix from February 22.
