Priyanka Chopra, the global icon, recently shared a humorous anecdote about her mother, Madhu Chopra's, enthusiastic reactions to meeting celebrities during her early days in Bollywood and her brief stint in the music industry. In an interview, Priyanka revealed that her mother was the real starstruck fan in the family.
One of the first instances of her mother's fangirling occurred during one of Priyanka's initial Hindi movies. The film featured Kabir Bedi, a famous Indian actor, and Madhu Chopra was ecstatic to meet him. Priyanka recalled her mother "completely freaking out" upon meeting Bedi, while she, as a professional co-actor, tried to maintain composure.
The story didn't end there. Priyanka recounted an unforgettable moment at a Bruce Springsteen concert during her short venture into the music scene. "Then I was at a Bruce Springsteen concert. I was doing music for a hot second, it lasted four singles, don't worry, and I met Bruce Springsteen," she said. Her mother's reaction was priceless: "My mom made sure I didn't wash my hands after dinner until I shook her hand. Oh my god. She was like, 'You have to shake my hand too. You can't not do that!'".
The celebrity encounters and subsequent fan moments kept coming. David Hasselhoff was another star who left a lasting impression on Madhu Chopra. According to Priyanka, Hasselhoff even gifted her mother a t-shirt that read "Hassel the Hoff," which she still wears.
Another memorable incident involved the rapper 50 Cent. Madhu Chopra insisted on attending his concert in Mumbai. Priyanka recounted how her mother was determined to go, securing a front-row spot for her. During the performance, 50 Cent removed his sweaty skull cap and threw it in their direction. Madhu Chopra caught it and has kept it in her closet ever since.
Priyanka has often spoken about her close relationship with her mother, highlighting Madhu's incredible zest for life and how she enjoys every moment. Her mother's enthusiastic and infectious personality clearly shines through in these anecdotes.
The emphasis on hand hygiene has increased since the start of the pandemic. Health experts recommend washing hands regularly with soap and lukewarm water for overall health and wellness. It is important to wash your hands after using the restroom, before eating or touching your face, and before wearing a mask. For on-the-go hand hygiene, it is best to carry a sanitizer.
