NEW DELHI: After an explosive interview with British royal couple Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Oprah Winfrey sat down for an intimate dialog with Priyanka Chopra. The interview gave the viewers a better look into Priyanka’s struggles throughout her preliminary days in the movie business, her relationship with Nick Jonas and her resolution to launch her memoir ‘Unfinished’ at such an early stage.
Recently, a clip of Priyanka from the interview the place she spoke about her understanding of totally different religions surfaced on the web and netizens weren’t too happy about it. The actress spoke about her secular upbringing in the interview with Oprah and talked about that she is conscious of Islam as her late father Dr Ashok Chopra used to sing in a mosque.Â
“With the swirling number of religions that we have, that live within the country as well. I grew up in a convent school. I was aware of Christianity. My dad used to sing in a mosque, I was aware of Islam. I grew up in a Hindu family and I was aware of that,” Priyanka advised Oprah in the interview.

However, her assertion has raised a number of eyeballs. Social media customers began questioning the actress that how does making her father sing in in mosque makes her conscious of Islam faith. There have been some who even requested her to title the mosque her father used to sing, whereas a number of others mocked her assertion and mentioned they, ‘sadly, remained unaware of Islam since their father by no means sang at a mosque’.
About her household life, the actress advised Oprah, “Also my family really believed in having a higher power and having a sense of faith. This is again something my dad used to tell me, he was like basically religion is all a way to get to a supreme power and every religion has a different face to the same direction where we`re going – whatever your face is, whatever your version of that is, its just a means to an end. And so, I am a Hindu and I pray, I have a temple in my home, I do it as often as I can. But at the same time to me I am truly more spiritual I feel – I am a believer of the fact that a higher power does exist and I like to have faith in that.”
Speaking about lacking her house, India, Priyanka mentioned, “I just miss India. I have not been back since Holi last year and, you know, India`s my home and I just want to come back visit and smell it and live it and meet my friends and I also want to, you know, do a Hindi movie.””I have not done that for a while. So, I just miss home a lot. I just want to be able to get on a flight and land in Mumbai,” she concluded.
