the
time

shared
what
they
meant
for
her
family.
She
also
shared
that
at
a
moment
of
such
importance
for
her
family,
her
father
wasn't
physically
present
there,
but
she
carried
him
with
her.
"He
was
and
is
a
big
part
of
my
journey," she
said.
Priyanka

Shri.
She

scroll
while

a
beautiful
yellow
saree.
She
wrote
in
her
caption,
"When
I
look
at
these
pictures
and
think
back
to
that
day
I
was
conferred
the
Padma
Shri
-
the
fourth
highest
civilian
award
in
India,
it
brings
back
so
many
incredible
memories.
While
it
was
definitely
a
personal
achievement
for
me,
what
made
it
so
special
was
seeing
the
joy
and
pride
it
gave
my
family."
She
continued,
"With
our
military
background,
I
can't
even
explain
what
a
honour
of
this
stature
meant
to
me
and
my
family.
My
Nani
(grandmother),
Bade
Papa
(eldest
uncle),
my
mom,
brother
and
my
masis
and
mami
(aunts)
joined
me
that
day
and
they
were
beyond
thrilled
to
be
at
the
iconic
Rashtrapati
Bhavan
(the
residence
of
the
President)
for
the
ceremony.
Bade
Papa
came
in
uniform
and
looking
at
him
as
he
stood
beaming
with
pride,
I
truly
understood
what
a
moment
it
was
for
all
of
us.
The
only
thing
missing
was
my
dad...
even
though
he
wasn't
physically
there,
I
carried
him
with
me.
He
was
and
is
a
big
part
of
my
journey."
Talking
about
work,
Priyanka
