Priyanka Chopra Jonas has made her late father Dr Ashok Chopra one of her first thoughts on his birthday and it is an emotional tribute they had such a good relationship.
She has often said how her father has had such a big impact on her life, not just after he died but years after that.
Dr Ashok Chopra, a doctor and former Indian Army doctor, was born on August 23, 1950.
He died in 2013 of cancer. Priyanka has since remembered him constantly through social media posts, family photographs and personal reflections.
Priyanka’s relationship with her father has always been a part of her public life. At her father’s birthday she has shared her childhood memories and pictures and expressed to him how much she missed him.
In 2019 she celebrated his birthday with a message on which she and her brother Siddharth would try to surprise their father every year.
Ashok Chopra is also remembered on his passing anniversary. In June 2026 she published a series of never-seen photos of her father.
The pictures included childhood memories and moments of the father-daughter duo together. Priyanka said their bond is something that stays with her in all stages of life.
Her recent thoughts have demonstrated how much her father’s memories stay in her mind. Just after his birth anniversary, Priyanka said she’d like to spend time with him again and remembered a period when he was really happy.
She said she would go back and just spend time with him if she could go back in time.
Ashok Chopra’s influence has also extended to the next generation of the family. Priyanka recently shared a touching moment with her daughter Malti Marie, who was photographed with folded hands before a picture of her late grandfather.
It was another emotional touch point for Priyanka as well as her father's memory.
For Priyanka, remembering her father is more than an annual tribute. Her posts over the years have shown how childhood memories, family traditions and personal milestones keep him back in her thoughts.
Ashok Chopra is no longer physically present but his influence is still felt by Priyanka and her family members.
