Priyanka Chopra 'Might Have PTSD Trauma' From 'People Taunting Her About Complexion', Says Mom Madhu

Priyanka Chopra has not only made a mark for herself in the movie business of Bollywood but also in Hollywood. Before becoming an actor, she also won the title of Miss India World in 2000. Priyanka often uses her influence to talk about certain issues and colourism is one topic she has often addressed. Recently, in an interview, her mother Madhu Chopra opened up about how some people would comment on her complexion when she was younger.

Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Madhu said, “I think she might have had childhood PTSD trauma because when she was very young, everyone in the Chopra family was gora-chitta (fair) except her father; and she went on her father. She was not at all that bad, she was very good-looking, and she had a gehu (wheatish) complexion. But there were few people who taunted her about her complexion and maybe that remained in her head. Apart from that she was a stunner.”

Madhu also said that when she went to meet a 15-year-old Priyanka in the US, she could not recognise her. “I crossed her at the airport, could not recognise her. She was such a stunner,” said. She added, “Priyanka was always good-looking, even as a baby. She was the most perfect baby born. She was always very good-looking.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Priyanka was last seen in Amazon’s Citadel with Richard Madden and in the film Love Again with Sam Heughan. The actress recently visited India and attended the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, of which she’s the chairperson. She will next be seen with John Cena and Idris Elba in Heads of State. According to the latest reports, she will also be seen in Ranveer Singh’s Don 3, directed by Farhan Akhtar. Meanwhile, there is still no update about Jee Le Zara.
