Priyanka Chopra took family on a vacation to heal from her father Ashok Chopra's death, says mom Madhu Chopra: 'We wouldn't cry in front of each other'
Priyanka Chopra
's father Dr Ashok Chopra passed away in 2013. But just in a recent interview, the actress had expressed how one can never really get over the death of a parent. Priyanka was extremely close to her father and also has a tattoo on her hand which said 'Daddy's Lil Girl'.
In a recent interview, Priyanka's mom Dr
Madhu Chopra
opened up on how the family grieved his demise and the actress took her mom and brother on a vacation to get over it.
Madhu Chopra said in an interview with Debina Bonnerjee on her YouTube channel, "We were just immersed into each other. I had no life outside of my family. Priyanka would just go to work and come back. We were a very tight unit."
She added, "All three of us were grieving in our own ways.
We weren't sharing anything. For months, we didn't talk about how we felt. We wouldn't cry in front of each other. I held back thinking my kids wouldn't be able to handle it. And they wouldn't cry either, because they didn't want to upset me."
While as a family they couldn't express their feelings to each other and were trying to stay strong, it was Priyanka who broke the ice. She realised that the emotional distance was taking a toil and thus took her mother and brother Siddharth Chopra on a vacation to Turks and Caicos.

Madhu Chopra said, "We spent a week there. We finally opened up, talked, cried, and just allowed ourselves to feel everything. That trip changed our perspective.
The pain doesn't go away, but you learn how to live with it, and it becomes a little easier."
On work front, Priyanka is currently shooting for SS Rajamouli's next with Mahesh Babu. Meanwhile, she's gearing up for the release of 'Heads Of State'.

Fatima Sana Shaikh on casting couch and Me Too in Bollywood: 'It's not like the industry is bad, but lines do get blurred when you have become intimate'
Fatima Sana Shaikh, who is known for her roles in Dangal, Ludo, Thugs of Hindostan and Sam Bahadur, has once again spoken out about the prevalence of sexual misconduct and the casting couch in the entertainment industry. The actress recently shared her views on how things have evolved in the post-Me Too era, and how much further there still is to go. 'There's more accountability now' When asked about being one of the few in Bollywood to address the issue openly, Fatima acknowledged that the landscape has changed. 'I think things have changed. People are much more accountable. They are a little more fearful,' she said in an interview with Humans of Bombay. She noted that most film sets today have designated personnel or units in place to address sexual misconduct complaints before they escalate to police cases. She also pointed out that conversations around these issues are now taken more seriously. 'There is a conversation. There is an investigation... it exists in every industry,' Fatima added. 'The lines are sometimes blurred' Fatima offered a nuanced view of how misconduct can sometimes exist in grey areas, especially when power dynamics or blurred personal boundaries come into play. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 'You are working with someone, you have become intimate. But then you don't understand, the lines are blurred. Then there is the dynamic of the power,' she explained. While advocating for thorough investigation before passing judgment, she also maintained that the benefit of the doubt is often, and rightly, given to women. 'Because it is a male-dominant industry. And now, after Me Too , women can talk about it... You will be held accountable.' 'I haven't faced this in Bollywood' Clarifying her own experience, Fatima stated that while she has spoken of uncomfortable situations in the past, particularly in her younger years, she has never directly faced sexual misconduct within the Bollywood ecosystem. 'It's not like the industry is bad. Any incident that has happened, it's just been this one little, small-time somebody and some conversation,' she said. She was quick to emphasize that issues like these are not exclusive to film sets. In fact, she pointed out that the problem is equally, if not more, severe in the corporate world. 'Corporate is life when you are together. So there, it's even more rampant... and even more toxic,' she said. Fatima Sana Shaikh recalls when she got epilepsy seizures in a flight: 'I'm lucky that I survived' 'Amazon and Netflix are very specific about Posh training' Fatima praised the preventive measures adopted by major platforms like Amazon and Netflix, revealing that every project backed by them includes mandatory PoSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) awareness sessions for cast and crew. 'Somebody will come from this agency… you will have a meeting with the cast, crew, and all the HODs. You will be told what your rights are, what is appropriate, what is not,' she explained. She added that most reputed production houses now conduct these sessions as standard practice, a move that she believes is a positive step toward safer work environments. 'People are being held accountable for their actions — not only in our industry, but in corporate and beyond. And that is what progress looks like,' she concluded.

Viral: Woman finds a working phone in her takeout food; here's what she did next
Image credits: X/@nypost What is the best surprise you would expect when ordering a takeout? That it tastes better than you imagined, is in more quantity than you ordered or has some little freebie dishes with it? Well, an Adelaide woman got the surprise of her life when she found a shocking object at the bottom of her takeout box. In a TikTok going viral on the internet, Shraddha, a woman shared that she had ordered a hotpot from a takeaway shop the previous week. She ate most of the meal at the restaurant but took some home to eat later. When she was picking at the bottom of the container, she noticed something strange. 'I was picking at the bottom, and the container was feeling a little bit weird,' she said in the video. 'So, I kept digging, and at the bottom of the container was a working phone.' She showed the phone that she picked out from a bowl of hot soup and while it may have been working it was already showing a temperature warning. 'I rang the place, and I was like 'Hey I found a phone in my hotpot' and they were like 'Oh yeah we did have a phone missing from one of our chefs',' she continued. 'They were apologizing, and I was like 'no worries, I'll bring it back'.' Not only did the woman return the phone but she also chose to not name the restaurant, saying, 'Everyone makes mistakes.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo A free meal for her kindness Explaining the incident she revealed that apparently the chef had put his phone down in the takeaway container and since it was black, it blended with the surface, thus getting lost inside the hotpot. For her kindness in asking about the phone and returning it, Shraddha received $50 from the restaurant where she had originally paid $35 for the hotpot. Additionally, the chef asked her to inform when she visits again and receive a free hotpot. The woman also added that her eating the hotpot at home was a complete coincidence as she had earlier thought of eating it the next day but felt hungry upon reaching home. Had she followed through and microwaved the meal, the story could have been completely different, she said. Social media reactions While Shraddha's reaction to the incident may have been calm and composed, the netizens felt the complete opposite. Many added how the restaurant got off lightly and that she should have asked them for a "lifetime of free hotpot." Another X user was concerned about the cleanliness of the food with the phone being inside it, writing, "That is literally so gross. He puts the phone down everywhere. Holds it to his face. Touches it after he touches everything Imagine the germs and bacteria she ate 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮"
