Priyanka Chopra doesn’t let negativity into her life, her mother, Madhu Chopra said in a recent interview. She’s a lot like her late father, Ashok Chopra, in that way. Madhu Chopra said that Priyanka has only ever severed ties with one person in her life, and that the person ‘deserved it’. Chatting with Lehren Retro, Madhu Chopra also reflected on Priyanka’s dating history, and said that she wouldn’t approve of the men she went out with; she also said that Priyanka was more open about her personal life with her dad, and that she isn’t sure whom Priyanka was referring to when she spoke about a ‘heartbreak’ in an earlier interview.

Asked where Priyanka gets the ability to transform negative incidents into positive ones, Madhu said, “She gets it from her father. He would never entertain negativity. He would find solace in music. Priyanka retreats into her room, does something, and comes out transformed. There are so many people in this world who will dislike you; you need to stay away from them. One mustn’t add more negative people in one’s life. This was her father’s attitude, and Priyanka is exactly the same.”

She continued, “She can handle all kinds of situations, but she also has an opposite side to her personality. If she dislikes someone… Cut, cut, cut. This only happens when the relationship is irreparable. It’s happened only once, where the relationship was irreparable, and he deserved it. But I haven’t seen this happen otherwise.” Madhu was also asked about a comment Priyanka had made earlier about emerging from a six-year relationship with a heartbreak. She said that she wasn’t sure what Priyanka was referring to.

Asked how she, as a mother, stood by Priyanka during ‘bad relationships’, Madhu said, “Every relationship is for the better or the worse… She never showed that she was suffering. She was working 24/7. If dad was around, perhaps she would’ve spoken to him, but she doesn’t really tell me these things.” Asked if she used to give Priyanka relationship advice about going out with the ‘wrong person’, Madhu said with a laugh, “Many times, just like my father used to say to me. Mujhe koi nahi uske liye jachta tha (I’d always think that she could do better).”

In an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast a couple of years ago, Priyanka confessed that she would often become a ‘doormat’ in relationships, and that she would often end up dating her co-stars. “I went from relationship to relationship to relationship. I did not give myself time at all between relationships, till my last one. I always ended up dating the actors that I worked with or the people that I met on my set. I just thought I had an idea of what a relationship should be like, and I kept seeking that and trying to fit the people that came into my life into my idea of that relationship,” she said.
