She then spoke about what she would change about Priyanka’s growing up years, saying, “I wouldn’t have sent her to the boarding school. I still cry when I think about it and I still feel guilty.

When asked how Priyanka is handling being a first-time mother, and her bond with granddaughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, Madhu said about Priyanka, “She’s fearless and isn’t scared of anything. She’s giving her baby a lot of freedom to be her person. And once I told her not to ever skew the word no. Explain to her, and she’ll understand. Don’t just say no. That’s the one advice I have shared with her… I just enjoy having the baby (Malti Marie Chopra Jonas) in my arms, I have forgotten that I have kids of my own.”

Priyanka Chopra in an interview said, “My mother didn’t explain her reasons for sending me to boarding school… Maybe because she didn’t fully understand them herself,” she said.
