Recently, during a chat with Lilly Singh about her new book ‘Be A Triangle: How I Went from Being Lost to Getting My Life’ Priyanka Chopra opened up on her motherhood. She said that as a new parent, she keeps on thinking about how she will never be imposing her “desires, fears, upbringing” on to her child.

“I have always believed that children come through you not from you. There is no belief like this is my child and I will shape everything. They come through you to find and build their own life. Recognising that really helped me, my parents were very non-judgemental in a certain way," she continued to say.
