Actress Priyanka Chopra, known for her outspokenness in Bollywood and addressing issues of racial discrimination, recently had her mother, Madhu Chopra, share insights into Priyanka’s perception of her own beauty. Madhu Chopra suggested that Priyanka may have experienced childhood trauma, possibly Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), as she was the only one with a wheatish complexion in the fair-skinned Chopra family. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Madhu Chopra mentioned instances of people taunting Priyanka for her complexion, speculating that such experiences may have lingered in her memory. Despite Priyanka’s striking appearance, Madhu Chopra believes the impact of these comments on her daughter’s self-image cannot be ignored. She recounted an incident when she first saw Priyanka in America at the age of 15, expressing her surprise at the transformation into a ‘stunner.’ Madhu Chopra also reminisced about how Priyanka would cleverly respond to relatives who commented on her appearance. Despite facing criticism, Madhu Chopra praised her daughter’s enduring beauty, affirming that Priyanka has always been exceptionally good-looking. The mother also reflected on her initial impressions of Nick Jonas, emphasizing how she personally evaluated his suitability as Priyanka’s life partner and ultimately found him to be the ideal match. This insight into Priyanka’s past challenges and Madhu Chopra’s unwavering support sheds light on the complexities of beauty standards and the impact of societal judgments.
