Priyanka Chopra, on multiple occasions, has broken her silence against colourism in Bollywood. PeeCee has even shared experiences from her childhood about facing discrimination due to her skin colour.
Now, during a recent interview, Priyanka’s mother Madhu was quizzed about why Priyanka felt discriminated against as a young woman, even though her parents were extremely supportive and she always looked beautiful, she mentioned that it was her “childhood PTSD trauma.”
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Madhu was asked why Priyanka felt “she was not pretty” even after winning the Miss India title. ALSO READ | Priyanka Chopra Travels To Mumbai After A Long Time, Ahead Of 2023 MAMI Film Festival; Actress Shares Her Excitement- Take A Look
Mrs Chopra 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 and she was not at all that bad, she was very good looking, 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 further said that when she went to America to meet Priyanka, who was then 15-years-old, she could not recognise her. “I crossed her at the airport, could not recognise her. She was such a stunner,” she recalled.
PeeCee’s mother also revealed that there was one person in the family who used to say things about Priyanka’s appearance. Madhu also said that Priyanka never minced her words and gave them back to the relatives who taunted her.
Madhu said, “She tells them ‘because of you I have become this today. You told me so I improved myself so much’.” She added, “Priyanka was always good looking, even as a baby. She was the most perfect baby born. She was always very good looking.” ALSO READ | Priyanka Chopra On Failing To Impress Fans With Her Female-Centric Films: ‘Feel The Collective Failure On Behalf Of All Women’
