Priyanka Chopra emerged as the runner-up of Miss India 2000 and went on to win Miss World 2000.
Priyanka Chopra's mother Madhu Chopra revealed how her family reacted when her daughter was selected for Miss India. She says that she not only convinced Priyanka to take the plunge, but also had to convince the Chopra family, who were against Priyanka바카라s participation in competition that launched her career.
In an interview with Supriya Paul for Josh Talks Asha, Madhu Chopra recalled the conversations that took place in the Chopra household after Priyanka was selected for Miss India. She shared, 바카라When Priyanka had to go for Miss India, there was a huge debate at our house that when she is so good at studies why do you have to put distractions in her mind? Priyanka also got nervous because this was not her choice. We had sent her (for the competition) just for fun. She told me, 바카라Mom, I don바카라t think I will be able to do that.'바카라
This is when Madhu took charge and sat her daughter down. She told her that her regular life wasn바카라t going anywhere, but the Miss India opportunity might not come again. It was then that Priyanka decided to give it a shot. She told her mother, 바카라I will give it my best.바카라 The 18-year-old did exactly that, and emerged as the runner-up of Miss India 2000 and went on to win Miss World 2000.
However, Madhu Chopra had to persuade her husband바카라s side of the family, who were 바카라overtly protective바카라 of the women in the house. Madhu shared, 바카라Her maternal family had no objections, they also believed the same way as I did. But her paternal family had a lot of issues, 바카라humaare ghar ki ladkiyan ye nahi karti hain바카라 (our girls don바카라t do such things). My sister-in-law was from a conservative background and had three brothers who were in the army, and army men are overtly protective for their females, so they were very protective. But again, I sat them down, and they put their things across and I put my reasoning across. Then my brother-in-law said, 바카라Ok, let her take the opportunity, but there is one condition, she will never go alone. Either you or her father will have to accompany her바카라.바카라
Madhu agreed and gave up her career as a doctor in the army. She added, 바카라This was another compromise I made. I really wanted her not to miss the opportunity. They were like, 바카라Forget about your career, and go with Priyanka.바카라 I didn바카라t even think twice before leaving my career for her because I thought I had enjoyed my life, now if my company will help her build a good future, I will do that.바카라
