Last Updated:
The candid moment, likely taken during a family vacation, shows a younger Priyanka with her dad, a glimpse into a simpler, joyful time.
Priyanka Chopra paid a moving tribute to her late father, Dr Ashok Chopra, on his 12th death anniversary. The global star, who lost her father to cancer in 2013, shared a priceless childhood picture with him on her Instagram Story. Along with the photo, she wrote, 'Miss you every day, dad," capturing the emotion of a daughter who continues to carry her father's memory with her.
The candid moment, likely taken during a family vacation, shows a younger Priyanka with her dad, a glimpse into a simpler, joyful time. Over the years, Priyanka has been candid about the deep pain of losing her father and how his passing shaped her.
During the Red Sea International Film Festival, Priyanka had opened up about how she returned to work just four days after his funeral. She was about to begin filming Mary Kom and recalled, 'So, I went back to work four days after his funeral because I know that's what my dad wanted me to do, and I put all my grief into those fight scenes."
In an earlier episode of the Read the Room podcast, she had spoken about how the grief has become a constant in her life. 'After my dad passed away, I came to a slow but steady conclusion that the kind of pain would never go away. It's your companion… 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 you don't even remember about it until you see a photo…"
On the work front, Priyanka is all set to headline the action-thriller Heads of State opposite John Cena and Idris Elba, which premieres on Amazon Prime Video on July 2. She also has the period drama The Bluff in the pipeline, followed by the second season of Citadel and S S Rajamouli's much-awaited film SSMB29 with Mahesh Babu.

Not one but two Mammootty-starrers set to arrive on OTT: Where to watch these Malayalam films, 'Bazooka' & 'Dominic And The Ladie's Purse'?
After several months filled with eager waiting and widespread rumors, two much-anticipated Mammootty-led films—Bazooka and Dominic and the Ladies' Purse—are finally on the verge of making their way to digital platforms. As per a report published by Sakshi Post, both movies are now preparing for their long-delayed online debuts. This is particularly notable because neither of the films managed to secure a digital release previously, largely due to underwhelming box office performances during their theatrical runs. Digital Release Update on Bazooka The action-packed film Bazooka, directed by first-time filmmaker Deeno Dennis, is reportedly set to premiere on ZEE5. Although the exact release date hasn't been disclosed yet, industry insiders suggest that the final stages of the deal for digital distribution are currently underway. The film centers around Aryan Achary, portrayed by Mammootty, a rich and powerful businessman who collaborates with a law enforcement officer in an effort to hunt down a possible serial killer. Through a series of clever and calculated moves, the story unfolds like a strategic battle of wits. However, the plot soon transitions into a psychological thriller, raising serious questions about Aryan's real motives and hidden identity. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo The film features a robust ensemble cast, including actors such as Gautham Vasudev Menon, Shine Tom Chacko, Divya Pillai, Sidharth Bharathan, and Iswarya Menon. Despite the film's promising storyline and solid acting performances, the release on OTT platforms had been in a state of limbo for months. Streaming News for Dominic and the Ladies' Purse Originally rumored to be heading to Amazon Prime Video, Dominic and the Ladies' Purse, a comedic mystery thriller directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, appears to have found its new streaming platform in ZEE5. This film, too, had faced a delay in its digital rollout despite initial expectations. The plot revolves around Dominic, a former police officer who has fallen from grace and is now working as a private investigator. He is tasked with what seems like a straightforward job — tracking down the rightful owner of a missing lady's purse. However, what begins as a basic case quickly unravels into something far more sinister. Dominic stumbles upon a tangled network involving disappearances, homicides, a mysterious stalker, and the enigmatic dancer named Nandhita. With both films seemingly close to securing official online debuts, fans of Mammootty can look forward to experiencing two distinct genres—psychological action and comedic suspense—from the comfort of their homes.
