Dr

who
was
suffering
from
the
same,
ever
since
2008,
had
also
undergone
several
medical
surgeries
and
was
critically

Twitter,
"Actress
Priyanka
Chopra's
father

in
Mumbai."
As
per
reports,
PC's

was
in
"very
critical
condition".
It
was
further
reported
by
a
leading
daily
that
Dr
Chopra
was
put
on
a
respirator,
and
his
actress
daughter
has
been
on
his
side
ever
since.
Till
last
week,
when
her
father's
condition
deteriorated,
Priyanka
went
about
her
work
as
normal.
Only
those
close
to
her
knew
what
she
went
through.
Priyanka
was
attending
the
rehearsals
for
the
Mary
Kom
biopic
while
attending
to
her
father
in
her
free
time.
Back
in
2005,
when
Priyanka
was
shooting
for
Rohan
Sippy's
Bluffmaster,
her
father
fell
ill.
Even
then,
Priyanka
had
not
shared
her
agony
with
anyone
on
the
sets.
RIP,
Dr
Ashok
Chopra.
May
God
bless
your
soul
and
give
strength
to
the
bereaved
family.
