Priyanka Chopra on losing her dad: ‘The Sky Is Pink’ has healed me

Priyanka Chopra is all geared up for her next ‘The Sky Is Pink’ and she says that she felt healed from her dad’s loss through the process of filming this movie. The movie revolves around death and loss. She said that she missed her late father Dr Ashok Chopra throughout the filming.

Priyanka Chopra lost her father in 2013. In an interview with ZoomTv she spoke about her father’s loss. She said, “I still held on to a lot of negative feelings. I was angry, hurt and I felt abandoned. When I was filming I was getting married at that time and I missed my dad so much and missed his presence so much, knowing that my mom would be doing this alone. When this was all my dad would talk about, he would say, ‘suit kab silvaun’. This film gave me closure.”
