If that wasn¡¯t shocking enough, PeeCee¡¯s mother Madhu Chopra has now given an interview and unlayered some more angles.

Madhu revealed in a conversation with Jost Talks Asha that she used to manage Priyanka in her career¡¯s early years and both of them were newcomers in the industry. ¡°Both, she and I were new to the film industry and the beauty industry. So, it was like one blind man leading another blind man. I had studied law and knew finance,¡± Madhu shared.

She further added, ¡°So, I used to oversee her legal matter though she had good lawyers. I also overlooked her finances because I had knowledge. I had to be with her everywhere, be it narrations or meetings.¡±

Mother Chopra shared, ¡°One day we decided that she (Priyanka) will not have any meetings, she will not go out anywhere, she will not fraternize after 7-7.30 in the evening. She stood firm on this decision. Aur fir kya karegi, kya nahi karegi, tehzeeb-tameez ke dayare ke andar, vo usne nahi kiye (Also, things which she won¡¯t do while staying within her limits, she didn¡¯t do).¡±

Madhu further revealed that Priyanka was never put under pressure from anyone and that she was told to do whatever and whenever she wants.

¡°We always told her, this is not ¡®Do or die¡¯. You can always go back, take up studies, or take up some other career. You have a lot of options. If not this, then that,¡± Madhu expressed adding that one phrase she taught Priyanka, ¡°Tum apne aap ko chavanni manogi, chavanni jaise behave karogi, toh duniya tumhe chavanni jaise treat karegi, apne aap ko rupaiya samjho, bada samjho, rupaiya jaisa behave karo¡­ be proud.¡±

Explaining how much etiquette mattered to her, Madhu shared, ¡°We drew a line there. You cannot misbehave or ill-treat anyone. And we stick by it even today.¡±
