My mother is the best
May 12, 2009
My mom gave up a flourishing career as a doctor to enable me to follow my dreams,’ says Priyanka, seen with her mother Dr.Madhu.
Beauty queen-turned-actress Priyanka Chopra, who is riding high on the success of her films "Dostana" and "Fashion", says had it not been for her mother's insistence, she wouldn't have even made it to the Miss India contest in 2000, leave alone winning the crown.
"My mother has played a very important role in where I stand today. She was the one who sent in my entry for the Miss India pageant. I didn't even know she was doing it. The win at Miss India and subsequently Miss World was what started my career.
"So, a lot of the credit has to go to her. Having chosen to come to Mumbai and pursue a career in films, my mom gave up a flourishing career as a doctor to enable me to follow my dreams. She has stood with me through all my ups and downs. She truly is priceless," Priyanka told IANS over e-mail from Mumbai.
