"She lost many films because she refused to do some scenes", Madhu Chopra on daughter Priyanka loosing films in the initial phase

Citadel, Priyanka Chopra's next series, had its Mumbai premiere on Tuesday, and she is currently busy promoting it.

Madhu recently discussed Priyanka's career and how she missed out on movies because she declined to act in certain portions. “Both, she (Priyanka) and I were new to the film industry and the beauty industry. So, it was like one blind man leading another blind man. I had studied law and knew finance. So, I used to oversee her legal matter though she had good lawyers. I also overlooked her finances because I had knowledge. I had to be with her everywhere, be it narrations or meetings," Madhu said in a recent interaction.

She added, "One day we decided that she will not have any meetings, she will not go out anywhere, she will not fraternize after 7-7.30 in the evening. She stood firm on this decision. Aur fir kya karegi, kya nahi karegi, tehzeeb-tameez ke dayare ke andar, vo usne nahi kiye (she did not do what she was not comfortable with)... She lost many films because she refused to do some scenes which she thought are not worth it." Priyanka was informed by Madhu that she always had the option of choosing a different line of work and that her Bollywood career was not a "do or die" situation.

She claimed that Priyanka was informed that she had many options and could always go back and "take up education or take up some other career."
