Priyanka Chopra's father dies due to cancer

National award-winning actress Priyanka Chopra's father, Dr Ashok Chopra, died today (June 10) at a hospital in suburban Andheri here after a prolonged battle with cancer.



Dr Chopra, a physician in the Indian Army, was seriously ill for a longtime. He had accompanied Priyanka to Vancouver for the TOIFA Awards earlier this year.



For over a fortnight, the actress had been by her father's side due his illness, keeping aside all her filmi assignments.
