Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra's mother Madhu Chopra has recently made a revelation that shocked everyone. She said that her daughter Priyanka Chopra was not welcomed with open arms in her home state after winning the title of 'Miss World'.

Priyanka Chopra won the title of 'Miss World' in the year 2000, which made the whole country feel proud. But in a recent interview, Priyanka's mother Madhu Chopra told that when Priyanka came to her home in Bareilly, she was not welcomed there. Regarding this, she said, "At that time there was a misunderstanding that beauty contests are meant to exploit women." She also said that at that time people believed that pageants objectify and insult women, and hence the organizers had difficulty in getting permission to welcome Priyanka.

Madhu Chopra further said that Priyanka was allowed to come to the army area only for the welcome in Bareilly. Her welcome party was also organized only in the Army Club, where there were only military officers and no common citizens. Priyanka's mother said, "It was a big achievement at that time, but still her home state did not welcome her."

Madhu Chopra also said that Priyanka was not exploited. Priyanka did it all on her own terms. She made the most of the opportunity she got. However, when Priyanka reached Mumbai, she got a lot of happiness and film offers there. Her fans in Mumbai welcomed her with open arms, and then Priyanka's Bollywood career started growing rapidly. This revelation shows that Priyanka Chopra not only established herself as an empowered woman, but she also challenged the mindset and concepts of society.
