She also gave the reason behind her statement. The actress said, "My dad's first love was music. He loved music. He loved singing it. He loved listening to it. He loved admiring the artistry behind it.”




Priyanka expressed that her singer-husband is a "prodigy" and her dad would have "loved" him. The actress shared that her late father would have respected him as a person. She said, "More than anything, Nick is a really wise soul, a wise person," adding, "and I think that he would have wanted someone like that for me, because that ain't me."

Priyanka Chopra's unfulfilled wish

In the same interview, Priyanka Chopra expressed that it "would have been a wish of mine that my dad would have met my husband and my daughter." The actress further shared that her father and the "angels" of her universe, Nick and Malti Marie Jonas, contributed to the change in her life.

But while Ashok never got to meet Nick or Malti, Priyanka feels that her dad and "the angels of the universe" had a hand in the way her life has turned out. She added, "I almost felt like I had hands behind my back, pushing me to move to America, to have a pop career, to suddenly be on these avenues where I landed up meeting the person who would be the father of my child."

The actress called the entire journey "serendipitous." She stated that it was not her ambition and she wasn't seeking this life. However, according to Priyanka, circumstances put her in a situation where this became her life, and she had to survive it.

She concluded, saying, "And when you look back at your journey, it's like, 'Oh, now I see the why.'"
