‘Priyanka Chopra imbibed work ethic from me, can wake up at 4 am, but son Siddharth wakes up at 8:30 am,’ says mom Madhu
Priyanka Chopra has a strong work ethic and her mother Madhu Chopra said that her daughter has learnt this from her.

Priyanka Chopra’s mother Dr Madhu Chopra had her hands full when her two children, Priyanka and Siddharth, were growing up. Madhu continued with her education when her kids were little, and later started her own practice. But, all of this was only made possible because of the familial support she received, and her ability to compartmentalise between her work and personal life. In a recent interview, Madhu shared that Priyanka is just as excellent when it comes to compartmentalising between her work and personal life. She also added that it was her commitment to her work that taught Priyanka to have a strong work ethic.
In a chat on Dr Stuti Khare Shukla’s YouTube channel, Madhu shared that even though she was pulled in a million directions, when she spent time with her kids, it was quality time. “100 percent children’s time. That was really good. I think that’s how they could imbibe the work ethics also, that you have to work hard if you want to achieve something and also give time to yourself, your family and your life,” she shared.
Talking about her ability to compartmentalise various aspects of her life, she commented that Priyanka now follows the same practice. Madhu also added that she believes in self love and her time to pamper herself is early in the morning. “I am an early riser. I wake up at 5:30 am and I start my day for me,” she said.
She added that while her son Siddharth isn’t much of an early riser, Priyanka can start her day at 4 am if needed. “My son is not such an early riser but still he is up by 8:30 am. But Priyanka, depending on the kind of work she is doing, she will be up at 4 also if needed,” she said.
Madhu had previously spoken about Siddharth being the “collateral damage” to Priyanka’s success. Talking on Something Bigger Show’s YouTube channel, Madhu said, “Siddharth was the collateral damage to all of Priyanka’s success, because dad was working, I was with Priyanka, he just grew up on his own and he was a teenager at that time. He, I think, was collateral damage for me.” She added that she sees him “struggling everyday.”
