revealed in her latest interview.
Speaking with Debina Bonnerjee, Madhu spoke about how her actress daughter Priyanka dealt with the loss and how the family stayed close and supported each other during that tough time.
Although they knew he was unwell, his passing was still painful. Priyanka later took her mother and brother on a quiet holiday to help them heal. Although the family had some time to prepare for the loss, knowing Dr. Chopra was unwell, the pain of his passing was no less heavy. "We knew he was ill but when the loss actually happened, all three of us were living on our own," she said.
When asked how she and the family managed to deal with the loss, she gave due credit to her daughter PC.
'About six months after it happened, Priyanka said, 'This isn't working. We have to share with each other, we have to be together,'' Madhu Chopra recalled. 'So she took us on a quiet holiday to Turks and Caicos—just the three of us. We weren't doing anything extravagant, just moving around silently, almost as a defence mechanism, out of care for each other.
'
'We spent a week there, bonded deeply, spoke about what we needed to say.

And when we came back, we felt refreshed—ready to get back to work with a new perspective. The pain doesn't fade, it doesn't go away. It stays. But you learn how to live with it. It becomes easier when you unite as a family, talk about the person, and process it together,' she said.
'A great circle of family and friends is so important,' she added. 'It truly helps a person live a healthier, more balanced life.'

Adin Ross just bought a $25 million mega mansion in Florida and says that he's 'broke again'
(Image via YouTube@Impaulsive) Adin Ross has done it again, this time, not with viral clips or stream drama, but with a jaw-dropping real estate flex. The Kick superstar just snagged a mansion worth $25.5 million in Florida. And while the place screams luxury, Adin's bank account? Not so much. In his own words, he's 'broke again.' Here's the wild story. Adin's Just Bought a Mega Mansion in Florida Worth $25.5 Million Adin Ross, known for his bold takes and bigger-than-life lifestyle, officially stepped into billionaire energy territory by purchasing a mansion that looks straight outta GTA Vice City. Nestled in Davie, Florida, the estate sits on 10.3 acres and spans over 11,000 square feet. There are 7 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, enough space to host a small concert, and vibes that scream 'I made it.' But here's the kicker: Adin didn't pay it all up front. Around $12.7 million was mortgaged. The rest? Straight cash. 'Bro, I Feel Like I'm at Paradise' On June 18, Adin popped off on his alt account (@AR15thed3mon), sharing just how surreal the moment felt. In a now-viral X post, he said: 'Bro I feel like I'm at paradise buying this house. It's really all because of you guys, I am emotional cause of how yall changed my life … I won't take this s**t for granted.' Emotional? Check. Motivated? Also check. He even admitted he got the mansion to refuel his grind—classic Adin move: flex, reflect, and bounce back harder. Did Adin Ross Really Go Broke? Short answer: kind of. A fan asked if the house purchase meant he sold off all his Ethereum, and Adin didn't dodge. He simply replied: 'I'm broke again. Grind time.' Whether it's real or just streamer-speak for low six figures, Adin made it clear that he's ready to hustle harder than ever. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The Internet Is Hyped Of course, the internet had thoughts.

With the marble floors? Oh, this is fascinating. With the high walls, look at the lights! So modern.' He wasn't wrong. With sleek lighting, ultra-modern interiors, and a guest room bigger than most NYC apartments, this place is a straight-up movie set. Adin Ross going 'broke' after copping a $25.5M mansion is peak streamer behavior. It's rich, chaotic, and weirdly inspiring. Whether you love him or love to hate-watch him, one thing's for sure: Adin's living proof that grinding online can take you offline into real estate heaven.

Zeenat Aman recalls how her first on-screen kiss with Shashi Kapoor caused an uproar: 'I didn't have a moment of discomfort while shooting'
Zeenat Aman is known to break several stereotypes in her career - be it her bold roles or the choice of movies. The actress has never shied away from standing out to be different. Even now, Zeenat continues to win hearts with her social media presence. The actress is often seen sharing anecdotes about her movies and co-stars. In her latest post, Zeenat has spoken about her bold movie, 'Satyam Shivam Sunderam' and how her look along with her first kissing scene in the film create an uproar. The actress opened up about the experience of her first on-screen kiss with Shashi Kapoor . She also revealed that he was a crush for every school girl, including her. So, it was quite a moment for her when she could be with him on celluloid. The 'Don' actress shared this kissing scene clip from the film and wrote, "With those twinkling eyes and handsome features, Shashi Kapoor was every Indian schoolgirl's fantasy! Myself included. The first time I saw him, I was still in boarding school. He came to Panchgani with the members of the Shakespeareana theatre company (including his future wife Jennifer) to perform Shakespeare! And my goodness, he had the girls in a swoon. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo As my luck would have it, Shashi was a south Bombay resident and lived not too far down the road from me. Now neighbours talk, and word soon got around that 'THE' Shashi Kapoor had the daily habit of an evening perambulation at 6pm on the dot. My girl friends and I, quite in the tizzy of youth, spent an entire winter break convincing our parents we needed fresh air and that a sunset walk was necessary for our good health. Of course, all we were hoping for was a glimpse of the movie star in his shorts!" She further spoke about her experience of working with him and added, "When eventually Shashi and my career paths crossed, I found myself in the company of a cheeky, intelligent and charming man. He was quick with both quip and smile, and we ended up costarring in a number of memorable films including Roti, Kapada Aur Makaan, Chori Mera Kaam, and Vakil Babu." Zeenat added, "I know I've already covered Satyam Shivam Sundaram a fair bit, but I chose to share this clip with you for two reasons. Firstly, it was a big moment in my career. It was my first on screen kiss, and though it caused an uproar at the time, it's actually quite chaste. I truly did not have a moment of discomfort while shooting it. Secondly, because schoolgirl Zeenat would be thrilled by the audacity of this post, and the realisation that a schoolgirl crush can actualise even if only for celluloid! He was a warm and wonderful man, and it is truly special to see his legacy alive and thriving in my neighbourhood in the form of Prithvi Theatre. "
