Priyanka Chopra's Mother Madhu Chopra Reveals The Actress ‘Might Have Had Childhood PTSD Trauma’ About Her Complexion

In a recent interview, Priyanka Chopra's mother Madhu Chopra revealed why the actress felt discriminated against. She said that it was Priyanka's ''childhood PTSD trauma". 

Actress Priyanka Chopra is an international star. She won the title of Miss India World in 2000. Chopra made her Tamil film debut in 2002 and Bollywood debut in 2003. She gave stellar performances in several movies. The diva made her way to Hollywood and starred in big projects. She has made India and the industry proud. Priyanka often spoke about how she faced racism in the West. Even in childhood, she had to face discrimination due to her skin colour. 

In a recent interview, when Priyanka’s mother Madhu Chopra was asked why Priyanka felt discriminated against, even though her parents were always supportive and she always looked beautiful, she revealed that it was her ''childhood PTSD trauma". 

[Post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) is a mental health condition that's triggered by any terrifying event or incident that the person has experienced or witnessed in the past]

Madhu said, “I think she might have had childhood PTSD trauma because when she was very young, everyone in the Chopra family was gora-chitta (fair) except her father; and she went on her father. She was not at all that bad, she was very good-looking, and she had a gehu (wheatish) complexion. But there were few people who taunted her about her complexion and maybe that remained in her head. Apart from that she was a stunner."

Madhu went on to say that when she went to meet a 15-year-old Priyanka in the US, she could not recognise her. “I crossed her at the airport, could not recognise her. She was such a stunner," said Madhu. “Priyanka was always good-looking, even as a baby. She was the most perfect baby born. She was always very good-looking,'' she added. 

On the professional front, Priyanka was last seen in 'Love Again' with Sam Heughan. She will be next seen with John Cena and Idris Elba in 'Heads of State'. Reports also state that she will star in Ranveer Singh’s 'Don 3', directed by Farhan Akhtar. 

Recently, she visited India to attend the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. She is the chairperson.
