Priyanka Chopra recently shared hilarious anecdotes about her mother, Madhu Chopra, who was often more starstruck than the global icon herself when meeting famous celebrities.
Mom’s Bollywood Moment
Priyanka Chopra, now a household name, revealed that her mom, Madhu Chopra, was the ultimate fan in the family. She fondly recalled one of her first Bollywood films where she worked with veteran actor Kabir Bedi.
Madhu Chopra was incredibly excited, being a huge fan of Bedi. Priyanka had to remind her mom to stay professional, even as Madhu was “completely freaking out” over meeting the famous Indian actor.
Meeting The Boss
Priyanka also ventured into music for a brief period, releasing a few singles. During this time, she had the incredible opportunity to meet legendary musician Bruce Springsteen.
Her mom’s reaction was priceless. Madhu insisted that Priyanka shake her hand immediately after shaking Springsteen’s. She even made sure Priyanka didn’t wash her hands until she had transferred the “Boss magic” to her!
‘Hoff’ing Around with David Hasselhoff
The fan moments continued with actor David Hasselhoff. Priyanka shared that Hasselhoff sweetly brought a “Hassel the Hoff” T-shirt for Madhu.
Remarkably, Madhu Chopra still wears that very T-shirt to sleep! It just goes to show the lasting impression these celebrity encounters had on her.
50 Cent’s Sweaty Souvenir
Perhaps the most unforgettable story involves a 50 Cent concert in Mumbai. Madhu Chopra, a big fan of the rapper, insisted Priyanka take her to the show.
Priyanka got them front-row seats, right between the audience and the stage. At one point, 50 Cent threw his sweaty skull cap into the crowd, and to everyone’s surprise, Madhu caught it!
She not only caught it but kept it as a prized possession. The skull cap is still stored in her closet, a testament to her ultimate fangirl moment.
