Priyanka Chopra Reminisces Her Dad When She Was Awarded With Prestigious 'Padma Shri' Award

Global diva Priyanka Chopra loves her dad Ashok Chopra to the core and often shares her pics with her dear dad on social media… Off late, this 'Quantico' actress once again recalled her dad and reminisced the special moment from 2016 when she was conferred the prestigious award Padma Shri'. She also said that her family members were enjoying the immense pride moment with this great achievement. Along with dropping the throwback image of holding the prestigious scroll, Priyanka also recalled the moment and made us know how she missed her dad…

Along with sharing a few throwback pics from her award event, she also turned emotional recalling her dad… She wrote, "When I look at these pictures and think back to that day I was conferred the Padma Shri - the fourth highest civilian award in India, it brings back so many incredible memories. While it was definitely a personal achievement for me, what made it so special was seeing the joy and pride it gave my family.

With our military background, I can't even explain what a honour of this stature meant to me and my family. My Nani (grandmother), Bade Papa (eldest uncle), my mom, brother and my masis and mami (aunts) joined me that day and they were beyond thrilled to be at the iconic Rashtrapati Bhavan (the residence of the President) for the ceremony. Bade Papa came in uniform and looking at him as he stood beaming with pride, I truly understood what a moment it was for all of us. The only thing missing was my dad... even though he wasn't physically there, I carried him with me. He was and is a big part of my journey ❤️🙏..."

Her antique pearl necklace and golden bangle bracelet along with simple makeup gave her a charming appeal.
