Priyanka Chopra once said that she wanted to become a singer to fulfill her father, late Dr Ashok Chopra's dream.

"My parents were very emotional when they heard my song. This was my dad's dream. My dad was not all that happy when I became an actor and won national awards, like he is today," Priyanka Chopra once told media at an event, quoted NDTV.

"My father is an incredible singer. I am happy and overwhelmed that my family and friends are here. I am feeling like a newcomer...I am feeling it is my first film," she added.
