Actress Priyanka Chopra underwent nose surgery in the early 2000s to remove a nasal polyp, but complications led to an unexpected outcome. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, her mother, Madhu Chopra, opened up about how Priyanka’s father reacted to the situation. She also remarked that despite the setback, Priyanka went on to win Miss World with the same face.

Madhu Chopra recalled how it deeply affected the Citadel actress and told Pinkvilla, “I wasn't able to counsel so much, but dad said, ‘There's nothing that we cannot fix. So don't worry, this is a very small thing’.”

She added, “Arey ussi face ke saath toh wo miss world bani. (She won Miss World with that same face). It was just an accident, which could have happened with any doctor. An accident that was. Mishap, I would say. But it was correctable so we had it.

Madhu also went on to say, “She was upset, of course. Ki gayi kiss kaam ke liye aur kya leke aayi. This is not me; this is not me. Then dad told her; he said, “Nothing to worry; don't worry. It's all correctable.”

Recalling a conversation with a filmmaker, she shared how he scrutinized her appearance before bluntly suggesting multiple procedures, including altering her jawline and enhancing her figure. Even her then-manager agreed with the idea. However, Priyanka chose to part ways with the manager and ignored the unsolicited advice, staying true to herself.
