It is no surprise that Priyanka was very close to her father, who supported her in all her decisions. During a recent interview with Tatler magazine, the actor had revealed that her dad was not so fond of her outfit choices when she came back from the US. 

"I’d left as a 12-year-old flat-chested, curly-haired kid and I came back as a 16-year-old almost-woman. I think my dad was really shaken up by that. He didn’t know what to do with me for the first couple of weeks," she had said. Priyanka further added, "We had a big clash of egos," she said but later quoted her father who told her, "No matter what you do, good, bad, or ugly, you can come and tell me. I will help you fix it. I won’t judge you, I will always be in your corner. I’ll always be on your team."

For the uninformed, Priyanka’s father had been suffering from cancer for a few years when he died in 2013. Priyanka had also revealed, in an earlier interview, how she missed her father during her wedding, "I was getting married and I missed my dad so much at that time. I missed his presence so much knowing that my mom would be doing it all alone when it was all that my dad wanted and would keep saying ‘Main suit kab silwaau, main suit kab silwaau’. It was very prevalent in my brain at that time and this helps me heal."
