Actress Priyanka Chopra’s mother Madhu Chopra hit back when asked to comment on the trolls against her daughter’s choice of short dress when she met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin. She says the focus should instead be on the discussions the two icons had.

Priyanka was trolled on the social media for wearing a short dress for her meeting with Modi. Later, the actress shut down the trolls with a photograph featuring herself and her mother showing off their legs.

Asked about it at the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy Awards here on Thursday night here, Madhu said: “Why are you asking such stupid questions at such a good event? Ask me what she discussed with PM on that day. Priyanka Chopra had discussion with PM Narendra Modi about current issues.”

Madhu was happy to receive the International Icon Award on behalf of Priyanka at the awards event.

The proud mother added: “She gave a fitting reply to her social media trollers (by uploading another picture on Instagram) and I don’t want to degrade the value of her reaction by commenting on it.”

“She didn’t have any intension to be matter of subject of such unnecessary things. Today’s youth is so confident that they shouldn’t get affected by any kind of provocation.”

Talking about receiving award, Madhu said: “I am very happy and proud that Priyanka has been given this award. They have introduced new category of International Icon awards and she is the first recipient of it.”

What makes Priyanka Chopra special in the West is the fact that she carries Indian culture and traditions with her, says the actress’ proud mother Madhu Chopra.

“I think Priyanka is carrying her India, her culture and traditions with her, which is what is making her so special over there (in the West). She has not become a foreigner,” Madhu told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

In that sense, she feels her daughter is representative of a modern Indian woman.

“The modern India is this — who have the values and talent, and who can pick on any industry in the world. If you see, everywhere Indians are doing so well… It’s just that Priyanka is more prominent, we know more about her. But everywhere we see Indians are doing remarkably beautiful,” she added.

Priyanka, who features in American TV show “Quantico” and has a role in upcoming Hollywood film, is often on the move due to her work commitments — dividing her time between India and the US.

Madhu, who also produces films under their home banner Purple Pebble Pictures, says she misses her daughter, and will be going to the US to visit her again in April.

Madhu says she is “hoping” and “praying” to produce a film, which stars Priyanka.

Talking about the mother-daughter bond, Madhu said: “I am quite a parent for her. I am more of mum. With her dad… They were friends. She takes care of me… There was a time when I was her mother, and now she’s my mother.”

Actress Priyanka Chopra’s mother says her daughter’s blink-and-miss appearance in the trailer of “Baywatch” is part of a marketing strategy as the makers want to keep the best for the last.

Priyanka appears in just one scene of the trailer of her maiden Hollywood project. This elicited a mixed response from her fans. The film also stars Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. 

Justifying the one-shot appearance, Madhu said :-

“That is their strategy. They don’t want to give out the best part of the film and Priyanka is the best part of the film. It’s a publicity plan that they had for the trailer. Priyanka is the main antagonist and she has a fabulous role in it.”

In the film, Priyanka plays a negative role.

Her mother says she no longer gets bothered by negative news about Priyanka.

“There was a time when negative news used to bother me, but now it doesn’t because I know my daughter better than anyone else.

If somebody writes negative, I know it cannot be true because she is very genuine, very honest and very true to herself.

I am not saying she can’t do anything wrong, but she can’t do anything bad. I can guarantee that.”

Priyanka Chopra is currently promoting a Punjabi movie “Sarvann”, which is the second production venture of their home banner Purple Pebble Pictures.
