Actor Priyanka Chopra marked her late father Ashok Chopra's birth anniversary on August 23 with a heartfelt social media post. She shared a throwback picture of him smiling and wrote, 'Happy heavenly birthday Papa.' The post, made on her Instagram Stories, offered fans a glimpse into the deep bond she continues to cherish.

Ashok Chopra, a physician and surgeon, served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Indian Army Medical Corps. He died on June 10, 2013, after a long battle with cancer. Priyanka has often honoured his memory on important occasions, including carrying his handwriting in a tattoo that reads 'Daddy's lil girl' and having the same words embroidered on her wedding veil in 2018.
Priyanka Chopra has consistently used public platforms to keep her father's memory alive, a practice common among celebrities who turn personal grief into a shared moment with fans. The tattoo and veil detail, repeated across multiple tributes, show how she has embedded his legacy into major life events. Her upcoming film Varanasi, a Telugu debut under S.S. Rajamouli, marks a return to Indian cinema after years focused on Hollywood projects like Citadel and The Bluff. The choice of a pan-Indian film signals her continuing appeal across language markets.
