Priyanka also retweeted her mom’s post, as she remembered her late father. In the actor’s recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, she opened up about her late father, saying how much she misses him. She had added that it changed her ‘relationship with God’. When Oprah asked the actor when her faith was tested the most, Priyanka had said, “I think around the death of my dad. I was very angry. I was very angry. My relationship with God changed a little bit. But then at the same time, I feel like God helped me find salvation and come out of it too. But at that time, it was tested.”

She further added, “Oh man, I went to every temple there was to go to. I did every prayer there was to do. I met every godman or godwoman I needed to meet, every doctor I needed to go to. I flew my dad to Singapore, New York, Europe, India, everywhere, just to do whatever I could to prolong his life. It’s such a helpless feeling.”
