Priyanka Chopra and her brother Siddharth grew up with their maternal grandparents as their parents worked round the clock.
Priyanka Chopra’s mom Madhu Chopra recently spoke about Priyanka’s childhood. Madhu said that Priyanka and her brother Siddharth largely grew up with their maternal grandparents, and if they weren’t there, she wouldn’t have been able to manage her work and personal life.
She recalled that when she spent time with her kids, she would pay close attention to them. She also spoke about “misguided children” who blame their parents for their mistakes.
She shared on Rubina Dilaik’s YouTube channel, “My kids, when they were very young and we were also young, they spent their childhood at my parents’ house.
They got a lot of support from their side.” She recalled that after work was over, she used to spend time with her kids without any interruption and shared, “We worked with full focus and dedication but when we spent time with our kids, it was quality time. There were no interruptions at that time.
No phone calls, no patients, just 100 per cent focus on the kids. So the kids were always happy with that. They knew that ‘big people always come back’, we always made sure that our kids knew about it.” She then added that even if the parents misbehave with their child, it is the child’s responsibility to introspect.
“Sometimes kids get misguided. They start earning, move out and the parents are left behind. I hear a lot of kids complaining about their childhood. ‘We are carrying the scars of our childhood, that’s why we are like this’. They say, ‘That’s why we are smoking, or doing something bad’. This is wrong. Even if your parents have treated you badly, they were doing their best.
There was something wrong with you, so they had to change themselves. You didn’t correct yourself, so the fault is in you, not in the parent who did the best for you. I tell them to introspect and correct themselves. Until you realise this, you cannot change your path and you cannot do the right thing.”
Earlier, in a conversation with Something Bigger Show’s YouTube channel, Madhu had spoken about her son Siddharth and said that he was “collateral damage” to Priyanka’s success.
“Siddharth was the collateral damage to all of Priyanka’s success, because dad was working, I was with Priyanka, he just grew up on his own and he was a teenager at that time. I guess, that was collateral damage for me,” she said and added, “When I think about it, these are some of the things you had to deal with.”
