Priyanka Chopra remembers father on 13th death anniversary, shares throwback pic of them dancing away to glory
Mumbai, June 11
Global Priyanka Chopra Jonas fondly remembered her late father, Dr Ashok Chopra, on his 13th death anniversary and shared a series of nostalgic pictures and heartfelt memories from different stages of her life moments spent with him.
Taking to her social media account, Priyanka posted a carousel of throwback pictures featuring cherished moments with her father.
Along with the images, she penned an emotional note that read, "You and me dancing together always. Miss u dad. You're always here.. in every decision and every moment of life. Love you."
The first picture captured a young Priyanka dancing with her father, with both sharing a playful and joyful moment. Another picture showed a toddler Priyanka in her father's arms.
The third picture featured the actress sitting beside Dr. Ashok Chopra on a couch with both resting their faces on their hands and smiling. The post also included a family picture with Priyanka's brother Siddharth Chopra and their father posing together. The final black-and-white picture appears to be from Dr Chopra's younger days where he is seen dancing his heart out with friends.
Priyanka has often spoken about the deep bond she shared with her father. Dr Ashok Chopra and Priyanka's mother, Dr Madhu Chopra, were both physicians in the Indian Army. The actress has frequently credited her father for being one of her biggest supporters and strongest influences.
For the uninitiated, Dr Ashok Chopra passed away on June 10, 2013, after a prolonged battle with cancer.
The doting daughter has repeatedly stated in many of her past interviews that she feels her father's presence in every important decision she makes.
In one of her most touching tributes, Priyanka had the words "Daddy's lil girl" embroidered onto the veil of her wedding gown when she married singer Nick Jonas in 2018.
She also has a tattoo on her wrist that reads "Daddy's lil girl" in her father's handwriting, a permanent reminder of the special bond they shared.

Lost my father last year, so this really hit home. The dancing picture is pure joy. We never get over losing a parent, do we? Priyanka is lucky to have so many memories captured on camera. 📸
The tattoo in his handwriting is just perfect. Priyanka may be a global star, but at heart she's still that little girl who adored her army doctor father. These moments remind us that no matter how famous we get, family is everything. 👨👧👦
Yaar, I know it's emotional and all, but why does every article about her have to be so dramatic? It's lovely she remembers her father, but why post it for the world? Some things should remain private. Just a thought. 🤔
That black-and-white photo of her dad dancing with friends is such a vibe! Dr Chopra clearly had a zest for life. Priyanka's emotional note shows the bond they shared. Losing a parent to cancer is the hardest thing. Stay strong, PC! 🙏
It's nice to see a celebrity being real about grief. We all need to normalize talking about loss. Priyanka sharing her father's memory helps so many others heal. The tattoo idea is something I might do for my own dad. ❤️🩹
