Priyanka Chopra's father, Dr. Ashok Chopra who was battling with cancer for long, breathed his last on Monday afternoon. Dr Chopra, 62, had retired from the Indian Army in 1997 as a lieutenant colonel.
The hospital authorities announced the demise of Dr Chopra around 12.30 pm yesterday. His body was first taken to the Chopra residence at Yari Road and then to the Oshiwara Crematorium where the final rituals were performed around 5.30 pm and 6.00pm by Priyanka's brother Siddharth.
Priyanka had always been very close to her father and even has a tattoo 'Daddy's lil girl' inked on her wrist. The actress was having a low profile for quite some time and had put aside all her assignments because of her father's critical condition.
