Priyanka Chopra on dealing with father Ashok Chopra's demise

In a recent appearance on the Read The Room podcast, Priyanka Chopra discussed dealing with her father Ashok Chopra's death. He passed away in 2013 after a prolonged battle with cancer.

Recalling the days, the actress shared, “After my dad passed away, I came to a slow but steady conclusion that that kind of pain would never go away. It's your companion. So, if you are thinking of or waiting for the day when it starts hurting less, when it doesn't affect you anymore or when you get over it… You are never getting over it; it becomes a companion.”

She further added that there will be days when it comes out in a biggish way and wants to stay over for dinner or maybe a week, and there will be days when she does not even remember about it until she sees a photo becomes sad. "Any form of grief will have a duration in which it will become your companion and you have to let it," Chopra said.
