Priyanka Chopra On Motherhood:
Chopra discussed her parenting approach with Singh, saying that she is embracing the concept of letting her child choose her own path. Chopra told Singh, "As a new parent right now, I keep thinking about that I will never be imposing my desires, fears, my upbringing on to my child. I have always believed that children come through you not from you."
She went on to say, "There is no such notion as this is my child, and I will shape everything. They come to you in order to find and construct their own life. My parents were non-judgmental in a way because they recognised how much it benefitted me."
